Copy 2d array to another 2d array

I'm trying to create a program in C that copies numbers from one 2d array to another, but specifically. (see image)

Code:

int main(){
    int numbers[6][8] = {
        {1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1},//0
        {2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2},//1
        {3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3},//2
        {4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4},//3
        {5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5},//4
        {6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6} //5
    };
    int output[2*8][3]; 
    
    for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++){
        for(int j = 0; j < 2*8; j++){
            output[j][i] = numbers[i][j];         
        }
    }  

    for(int j = 0; j < 2*8; j++){
        for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++){
            printf("%d ", output[j][i]);
        }
        printf("\n");
    }

 }

My output:

1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3

2 3 4
2 3 4
2 3 4
2 3 4
2 3 4
2 3 4
2 3 4
2 3 4

But it's bad.

The output should look like this:

1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3

4 5 6
4 5 6
4 5 6
4 5 6
4 5 6
4 5 6
4 5 6
4 5 6

Problem is that in my output in second part I have number from rows 1, 2 and 3 (from numbers array). But it was supposed to be the 3, 4 and 5 row.

You have to get your indexes right :-)

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < 16; j++) {
        output[j][i] = numbers[j / 8 * 3 + i][j % 8];
    }
}
