description The study of rings and graphs has been explored extensively by researchers. To gain a more effective understanding on the concepts of the rings and graphs, more researches on graphs of different types of rings are required. This manuscript provides a different study on the concepts of commutative rings and undirected graphs. The non-zero divisor graph, Γ(R) of a ring R is a simple undirected graph in which its set of vertices consists of all non-zero elements of R and two different vertices are joint by an edge if their product is not equal to zero. In this paper, the commutative rings are the ring of integers modulo n where n = 8k and k ≤ 3. The zero divisors are found first using the definition and then the non-zero divisor graphs are constructed. The manuscript explores some properties of non-zero divisor graph such as the chromatic number and the clique number. The result has shown that Γ(Z8k) is perfect.
