The 5 times table from 1 to 20
5 × 1 through 5 × 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 5 × 1 | 5 | 5 ÷ 5 = 1 |
| 5 × 2 | 10 | 10 ÷ 5 = 2 |
| 5 × 3 | 15 | 15 ÷ 5 = 3 |
| 5 × 4 | 20 | 20 ÷ 5 = 4 |
| 5 × 5 | 25 | 25 ÷ 5 = 5 |
| 5 × 6 | 30 | 30 ÷ 5 = 6 |
| 5 × 7 | 35 | 35 ÷ 5 = 7 |
| 5 × 8 | 40 | 40 ÷ 5 = 8 |
| 5 × 9 | 45 | 45 ÷ 5 = 9 |
| 5 × 10 | 50 | 50 ÷ 5 = 10 |
| 5 × 11 | 55 | 55 ÷ 5 = 11 |
| 5 × 12 | 60 | 60 ÷ 5 = 12 |
| 5 × 13 | 65 | 65 ÷ 5 = 13 |
| 5 × 14 | 70 | 70 ÷ 5 = 14 |
| 5 × 15 | 75 | 75 ÷ 5 = 15 |
| 5 × 16 | 80 | 80 ÷ 5 = 16 |
| 5 × 17 | 85 | 85 ÷ 5 = 17 |
| 5 × 18 | 90 | 90 ÷ 5 = 18 |
| 5 × 19 | 95 | 95 ÷ 5 = 19 |

Patterns in the 5 times table
- Last digits. The ones digits repeat every 2 steps: 5, 0, then 5, 0 again and so on. Only 2 different endings ever appear.
- Odd and even. 5 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 (5 × 1 to 5 × 9 give 5, 1, 6, 2, 7, 3, 8, 4, 9) and all nine values appear before repeating.
- A prime table. 5 is prime, so its table cannot be built by chaining smaller tables — learn it directly or split 5 into 3 + 2: 5 × 6 = 18 + 12 = 30.
A shortcut for multiplying by 5
Take ten times the number and halve it: 5 × 14 = 140 ÷ 2 = 70. Every answer ends in 5 or 0.
Worked example: 5 × 14
Split 14 into 10 + 4: 5 × 10 = 50 and 5 × 4 = 20, so 5 × 14 = 70.
