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.
| Fact | Answer | Division fact |
|---|---|---|
| 1 × 1 | 1 | 1 ÷ 1 = 1 |
| 1 × 2 | 2 | 2 ÷ 1 = 2 |
| 1 × 3 | 3 | 3 ÷ 1 = 3 |
| 1 × 4 | 4 | 4 ÷ 1 = 4 |
| 1 × 5 | 5 | 5 ÷ 1 = 5 |
| 1 × 6 | 6 | 6 ÷ 1 = 6 |
| 1 × 7 | 7 | 7 ÷ 1 = 7 |
| 1 × 8 | 8 | 8 ÷ 1 = 8 |
| 1 × 9 | 9 | 9 ÷ 1 = 9 |
| 1 × 10 | 10 | 10 ÷ 1 = 10 |
| 1 × 11 | 11 | 11 ÷ 1 = 11 |
| 1 × 12 | 12 | 12 ÷ 1 = 12 |
| 1 × 13 | 13 | 13 ÷ 1 = 13 |
| 1 × 14 | 14 | 14 ÷ 1 = 14 |
| 1 × 15 | 15 | 15 ÷ 1 = 15 |
| 1 × 16 | 16 | 16 ÷ 1 = 16 |
| 1 × 17 | 17 | 17 ÷ 1 = 17 |
| 1 × 18 | 18 | 18 ÷ 1 = 18 |
| 1 × 19 | 19 | 19 ÷ 1 = 19 |
| 1 × 20 | 20 | 20 ÷ 1 = 20 |
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.

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.
