The 4 times table from 1 to 20
4 × 1 through 4 × 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 4 × 1 | 4 | 4 ÷ 4 = 1 |
| 4 × 2 | 8 | 8 ÷ 4 = 2 |
| 4 × 3 | 12 | 12 ÷ 4 = 3 |
| 4 × 4 | 16 | 16 ÷ 4 = 4 |
| 4 × 5 | 20 | 20 ÷ 4 = 5 |
| 4 × 6 | 24 | 24 ÷ 4 = 6 |
| 4 × 7 | 28 | 28 ÷ 4 = 7 |
| 4 × 8 | 32 | 32 ÷ 4 = 8 |
| 4 × 9 | 36 | 36 ÷ 4 = 9 |
| 4 × 10 | 40 | 40 ÷ 4 = 10 |
| 4 × 11 | 44 | 44 ÷ 4 = 11 |
| 4 × 12 | 48 | 48 ÷ 4 = 12 |
| 4 × 13 | 52 | 52 ÷ 4 = 13 |
| 4 × 14 | 56 | 56 ÷ 4 = 14 |
| 4 × 15 | 60 | 60 ÷ 4 = 15 |
| 4 × 16 | 64 | 64 ÷ 4 = 16 |
| 4 × 17 | 68 | 68 ÷ 4 = 17 |
| 4 × 18 | 72 | 72 ÷ 4 = 18 |
| 4 × 19 | 76 | 76 ÷ 4 = 19 |
| 4 × 20 | 80 | 80 ÷ 4 = 20 |
Patterns in the 4 times table
- Last digits. The ones digits repeat every 5 steps: 4, 8, 2, 6, 0, then 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 again. Only 5 different endings ever appear.
- Even answers. 4 is even, so every product in its table is even.
- Digit sums. Reduce each answer to a single digit (4 × 1 to 4 × 9 give 4, 8, 3, 7, 2, 6, 1, 5, 9) and all nine values appear before repeating.
- Built from a smaller table. 4 = 2 × 2, so every answer is double the matching answer in the 2 times table: 4 × 7 = 2 × 14 = 28.
A shortcut for multiplying by 4
Double, then double again: 4 × 13 → 26 → 52.
Worked example: 4 × 14
Split 14 into 10 + 4: 4 × 10 = 40 and 4 × 4 = 16, so 4 × 14 = 56.

Related to the 4 times table
- 4 × 4 = 16, so the square root of 16 is 4.
- The factors of 4 are 1, 2 and 4; they pair up as 1 × 4 and 2 × 2, so 4 appears as an answer in each of those tables.
- Every answer in this table is a multiple of 4; the multiples calculator lists them past × 20.
