6 Times Table
What is the 6 times table?
Answer
Every row of the 6 times table is the row above it plus 6, so the table can be rebuilt from the first line instead of recalled whole. The whole grid from 1 to 10 is on the times table chart.
6 Times Table
| Multiplication | Product |
|---|---|
| 6 × 1 | 6 |
| 6 × 2 | 12 |
| 6 × 3 | 18 |
| 6 × 4 | 24 |
| 6 × 5 | 30 |
| 6 × 6 | 36 |
| 6 × 7 | 42 |
| 6 × 8 | 48 |
| 6 × 9 | 54 |
| 6 × 10 | 60 |
| 6 × 11 | 66 |
| 6 × 12 | 72 |
The table runs to ×12 because that is how far it is taught in Britain; ×10 is where most other school systems stop. The last two rows follow the same rule as the rest, one step at a time.
How to Get the Next Row
A times table is repeated addition written out, so the next row is always the current one plus 6. Nothing has to be remembered except the step.
6 × 1 = 6
6 + 6 = 12 → 6 × 2 = 12
12 + 6 = 18 → 6 × 3 = 18
6 × 12 = 72
Rows that come free
- ×5 is half of ×10: 6 × 5 = 60 ÷ 2 = 30.
- ×9 is ×10 minus the number: 6 × 9 = 60 − 6 = 54.
- ×11 is ×10 plus the number: 6 × 11 = 60 + 6 = 66.
- ×12 is ×10 plus ×2: 6 × 12 = 60 + 12 = 72.
Check It, and What It Is Not
Check by swapping the factors. 6 × 3 = 18 and 3 × 6 = 18 are the same product, so every row of this table appears in another table too, and the two have to agree.
A table is not long multiplication. This page lists one number times 1 to 12; for a product worked out digit by digit, with the carries and the partial products, follow 6 × 12 = 72 into the long multiplication calculator.
The reverse operation is division. Reading the table backwards — 18 ÷ 6 = 3 — is exactly what long division does step by step.
