Times Table Generator
A times table lists the multiples of a number in order. Knowing them by heart makes division, fractions and algebra faster. Enter any number, whole or decimal, and this generator lists its multiples up to the row you choose. Below the table you will find memory tricks for the trickiest ones.
How to use the times table generator
- Type the number whose table you want.
- Choose how many rows to show, from 1 to 30.
- Read down the list, cover the answers and quiz yourself, then check.
Formula
Each row is the number multiplied by a counting number: n × 1, n × 2, n × 3, … The table for n is simply n added to itself repeatedly, so each row is the previous row plus n.
Worked examples
The 7 times table
7 × 12 = 84. Each step adds 7: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84.
A decimal table
2.5 × 4 = 10. Tables work for any number, which helps with money and measurements.
Tricks for learning the tables
Nobody needs to memorise 144 separate facts. Use patterns and symmetry and only a few dozen remain.
Patterns worth knowing
- × 2 is doubling; × 4 is doubling twice; × 8 is doubling three times.
- × 5 ends in 0 or 5, and is half of × 10.
- × 9: the digits add to 9, and the tens digit is one less than the multiplier (9 × 6 = 54).
- × 11 up to 9 just repeats the digit (11 × 4 = 44).
The hardest facts
Most learners find 6 × 7, 6 × 8, 7 × 8 and 7 × 7 the trickiest. A rhyme helps: “5, 6, 7, 8: 56 = 7 × 8”. Notice the digits 5, 6, 7, 8 appear in order.
Quick reference
| × | 3 | 4 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 18 | 24 | 36 | 42 | 48 | 54 |
| 7 | 21 | 28 | 42 | 49 | 56 | 63 |
| 8 | 24 | 32 | 48 | 56 | 64 | 72 |

Practice problems
Try these yourself first, then check your answer. The answers come from the calculator above.
- List the 8 times table up to 12.
Show answer
8 × 12: 96
- List the 15 times table up to 6.
Show answer
15 × 6: 90
Common mistakes to avoid
- Learning tables in isolation. Use the symmetry: 7 × 8 is the same as 8 × 7.
- Skipping the easy tables. The 2s, 5s and 10s build confidence for harder ones.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to learn times tables?
Short, regular practice mixing recall and strategy. Try our multiplication quiz.
How many facts do I really need to learn?
Because 3 × 7 = 7 × 3, there are only about 66 different facts up to 12 × 12.
How do I remember the 9 times table?
The digits of each answer add to 9 (9 × 7 = 63 and 6 + 3 = 9), and the tens digit is one less than the number you multiply by.
Does it work for decimals?
Yes. Enter a value like 0.5 or 2.25.
