Multiplication Table

Patterns to Discover

Square Numbers

The diagonal shows perfect squares: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25... These are numbers multiplied by themselves.

Symmetry

The table is symmetric! 3×7 = 7×3. This is the commutative property of multiplication.

+2

Skip Counting

Each row shows skip counting. Row 5: 5, 10, 15, 20... Look for the patterns!

9

Nines Trick

In the 9s row, digits always sum to 9: 18 (1+8=9), 27 (2+7=9), 36 (3+6=9)...

About This Multiplication Table

This multiplication table is an interactive learning tool that displays products for any size grid from 2×2 up to 20×20. Hover over any cell to highlight the entire row and column, making it easy to see how two factors produce a product. The diagonal highlights perfect squares (1, 4, 9, 16, 25…), and you can toggle additional highlighting for even numbers.

How to Use It

  1. Set the table size using the presets or the number input (2–20).
  2. Hover over any cell to see the full equation (e.g., 7 × 8 = 56) displayed above the table.
  3. Toggle "Highlight squares" to see perfect square numbers on the diagonal.
  4. Toggle "Highlight evens" to shade all even products, revealing the checkerboard pattern.

Key Patterns to Look For

  • Symmetry: The table is mirrored across the diagonal because multiplication is commutative (a × b = b × a). Learning one fact gives you its mirror for free.
  • The 9s trick: In the 9s row, the digits of each product always sum to 9. For example, 9 × 4 = 36, and 3 + 6 = 9.
  • The 5s pattern: Every product of 5 ends in 0 or 5, alternating predictably.
  • Square numbers: The diagonal contains 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144. The gaps between consecutive squares are the odd numbers: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11…

Learning strategy: Start with the 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s — they follow simple rules. Then add the 9s (digit-sum trick) and 4s (double twice). By the time you reach the 7s and 8s, most facts are already covered by earlier tables. The commonly hardest fact is 7 × 8 = 56. A popular mnemonic: "5, 6, 7, 8" → 56 = 7 × 8.
