  1. Each answer is 6 more than the one before: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, …
  2. Tip: For an even factor, the answer ends in the same digit: 6 × 4 = 24, 6 × 8 = 48.

The 6 times table from 1 to 20

6 × 1 through 6 × 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 6 times table

  • Last digits. The ones digits repeat every 5 steps: 6, 2, 8, 4, 0, then 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 again. Only 5 different endings ever appear.
  • Even answers. 6 is even, so every product in its table is even.
  • Digit sums. Reduce each answer to a single digit by adding its digits and you get 6, 3, 9, repeating — a sign that every answer is a multiple of 3.
  • Built from a smaller table. 6 = 2 × 3, so every answer is double the matching answer in the 3 times table: 6 × 7 = 2 × 21 = 42.

A shortcut for multiplying by 6

Five times plus one more group: 6 × 7 = 35 + 7 = 42. With an even factor, the answer ends in the same digit as that factor (6 × 8 = 48).

Worked example: 6 × 14

Split 14 into 10 + 4: 6 × 10 = 60 and 6 × 4 = 24, so 6 × 14 = 84.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 6 times table up to 12?

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.

What is the easiest way to learn the 6 times table?

Five times plus one more group: 6 × 7 = 35 + 7 = 42. With an even factor, the answer ends in the same digit as that factor (6 × 8 = 48).

What is 6 times 20?

6 × 20 = 120. Multiply 6 by 2 to get 12, then write a zero on the end.

Where is the 6 times table used in real life?

Any time you count equal groups of 6: an insect has 6 legs, so the legs in several insects come straight from the 6 times table.
