    Questions about Times Tables, with answers

    How many times tables do you need to learn?

    Ten, from 1 to 10, each with ten answers. Thanks to the commutative property, the multiplications that are really different are far fewer: take away the 1s, 2s, 5s and 10s and only 21 are left.

    Which times table is the hardest?

    For most children it is the 7s, followed by the 8s and the 6s. The multiplications children most often get wrong are usually among 6 × 7, 6 × 8, 7 × 8, 8 × 8 and 8 × 9.

    What are the numbers in a multiplication called?

    The numbers you multiply are called factors, and the result is the product. In 6 × 4 = 24, the 6 and the 4 are the factors and 24 is the product.

    Why is the multiplication chart symmetrical?

    Because changing the order of the factors does not change the product: 4 × 9 and 9 × 4 both make 36. That is why the half above the diagonal matches the half below it.

    Frequently asked questions

    How many quizzes are in Times Tables?

    Twenty: twelve Classic, four Yes or No, two Clues and two Fill-in, getting harder as you go.

    Is the collection free?

    Yes, and you don't need to sign up: Times Tables is one of our play-now collections. A free account saves your score.

    What age is it for?

    From second grade up. The questions cover the 1 to 10 times tables, plus 12 and 25, and adults play them too.

    Is there a trick for the 9 times table?

    Yes. The tens digit is one less than the number you multiply by, and the two digits add up to 9. For 9 × 6, the tens digit is 5 and the ones digit is 4, so the answer is 54.
