Actually,that way you count a single arrangement eight times. The table is round and it matters from where you look at it. So the answer is 8!/8=7!=5,040

I'm sorry for the mistake. I'm just used to that when in a problem is mentioned a table, it is round. Although it can just be said that they sit side by side.
