Short answer
The 4 times table is 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48. Each answer is 4 more than the one before it, so you can also find the table by skip counting by 4. 4 × 7: double 7 is 14, double 14 is 28. Every 4 times fact can be found with two doubles.

Patterns that make the 4 times table easier
Double, then double again
4 × 7: double 7 is 14, double 14 is 28. Every 4 times fact can be found with two doubles.
Every answer is even
The last digits repeat in the order 4, 8, 2, 6, 0: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, then 24, 28, 32, 36, 40.
It is the 2 times table, taking every second answer
Count in twos and keep every second number: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 gives 4, 8, 12.

Questions and answers
What is the 4 times table?
The 4 times table is the list of answers you get when you multiply 4 by 1, 2, 3 and so on. Up to 12 it is 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48.
What is 4 times 12?
4 × 12 = 48. Some schools teach each table up to 10 and others up to 12, so it is worth learning both 4 × 11 = 44 and 4 × 12 = 48.
How do you skip count by 4?
Start at 4 and add 4 each time: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40. Skip counting by 4 gives the same numbers as the 4 times table.
Which facts in the 4 times table should I practice most?
Children usually need the most practice with the facts that have larger numbers, such as 4 × 7 = 28, 4 × 8 = 32, 4 × 4 = 16. Practice a few at a time, mixed with facts the child already knows.
How is the 4 times table used for division?
Every multiplication fact gives two division facts. Because 4 × 6 = 24, you also know 24 ÷ 4 = 6 and 24 ÷ 6 = 4.
