The 6 times table is one of the harder tables, but you are lucky: you already know a big chunk of it from other tables. 6 × 2, 6 × 5 and 6 × 10 are in the 2, 5 and 10 tables you already know.
| Calculation | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
Use 6 = 2 × 3
6 × a number can be split into two steps: first × 3, then × 2 (or the other way around). 6 × 7 = 3 × 7 × 2 = 21 × 2 = 42.
Even number × 6 ends in the same even digit
A handy pattern: even numbers × 6 end in the same final digit. 6 × 2 = 12, 6 × 4 = 24, 6 × 6 = 36, 6 × 8 = 48. The last digit is always the other even number.
5 times table plus one more
6 × a number = 5 × that number + the number itself. 6 × 8 = 5 × 8 + 8 = 40 + 8 = 48. Quick and reliable.
Children typically learn the multiplication tables in Grades 2 and 3 (ages 7–9). The tables of 2, 5 and 10 are taught first, then 3, 4 and 6, and finally the harder tables of 7, 8 and 9. Most children know all tables up to 10 by the end of Grade 3.
What is 6 × 7?+
6 × 7 = 42. Work it out as 5 × 7 + 7 = 35 + 7 = 42.
What is the fastest way to learn the 6 times table?+
Build it on top of the 5 times table: 6 × X is always 5 × X + X. Combine that with the 2 and 3 times tables for the harder facts.
Which fact in the 6 times table is the hardest?+
6 × 7 = 42 and 6 × 8 = 48 are the most commonly missed. Memorise them as anchor facts, or compute them via 5 × X + X.
What grade do children learn the 6 times table?+
The 6 times table is taught in Grade 3, after the easier tables of 2, 5 and 10.
