The 1 times table from 1 to 20

1 × 1 through 1 × 9 belong to the core facts — every product of two one-digit numbers — that US standards expect students to know from memory by the end of third grade. Each row also gives the matching division fact.

Patterns in the 1 times table

  • Last digits. The ones digits of 1 × 1 to 1 × 10 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 — all ten digits appear once before the pattern repeats, because 1 shares no factor with 10.
  • Odd and even. 1 is odd, so the answers alternate odd, even, odd, even — odd times odd is odd, odd times even is even.
  • Digit sums. Reduce each answer to a single digit (1 × 1 to 1 × 9 give 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) and all nine values appear before repeating.

A shortcut for multiplying by 1

Multiplying by 1 leaves a number unchanged — the identity property. It is the one table you already know.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 1 times table up to 12?

1 × 1 = 1, 1 × 2 = 2, 1 × 3 = 3, 1 × 4 = 4, 1 × 5 = 5, 1 × 6 = 6, 1 × 7 = 7, 1 × 8 = 8, 1 × 9 = 9, 1 × 10 = 10, 1 × 11 = 11, 1 × 12 = 12.

What is the easiest way to learn the 1 times table?

Multiplying by 1 leaves a number unchanged — the identity property. It is the one table you already know.

What is 1 times 20?

1 × 20 = 20. Multiply 1 by 2 to get 2, then write a zero on the end.

Where is the 1 times table used in real life?

Any time you count equal groups of 1: each ticket admits 1 person, so the admissions in several tickets come straight from the 1 times table.
