Times Table

How to Use This Table

Click any number across the top row or down the left column to highlight that table. The matching cell for any two numbers shows their product. Use the table to look up facts quickly, or use it as a visual reference while practicing. Try to quiz yourself by covering one column at a time.

Patterns That Help You Remember

You do not have to memorise every fact separately. Patterns do most of the work for you.

• 5s: Always end in 0 or 5. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25...
• 9s: The digits of every multiple add up to 9. 18 (1+8=9), 27 (2+7=9), 36 (3+6=9)...
• 11s: Up to 9x11, the digit just repeats. 11, 22, 33, 44, 55...
• 2s: Always even. Just double the number.
• 10s: Just add a zero. 10, 20, 30, 40...

The 9s Finger Trick

Hold out all ten fingers. To find 9 x N, fold down the Nth finger from the left. Count the fingers still up on the left side for the tens digit. Count the fingers still up on the right for the ones digit. For 9 x 4: fold down the 4th finger. You see 3 fingers left and 6 fingers right. Answer: 36.

This works for 9 x 1 through 9 x 10. It is a fast mental trick that never fails.

From Multiplication to Division

Every multiplication fact gives you two division facts for free. If you know 6 x 7 = 42, you also know 42 / 7 = 6 and 42 / 6 = 7. This is why learning the times table helps with division too. The relationship runs both ways.

Tips for the Harder Facts

• 6 x 6 = 36: Both 6s, answer starts with 3. Six six, thirty six.
• 6 x 7 = 42: Use 6 x 6 = 36 and add 6 to get 42.
• 7 x 7 = 49: Seven squared. Think of 7-Up becoming 49.
• 7 x 8 = 56: 5, 6, 7, 8. The answer contains the digits before the problem.
• 8 x 8 = 64: Eight eights, sixty four. Rhymes help.
