6 times table: chart, patterns and practice

Short answer

The 6 times table is 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72. Each answer is 6 more than the one before it, so you can also find the table by skip counting by 6. 6 × 7 is 5 × 7 plus 7: 35 + 7 = 42. The 5 times table is easy, so this works for every 6 times fact.

Skip counting by 6

Start at 6 and add 6 each time. Saying the numbers out loud, forwards and then backwards, is a quick way to learn the table.

  2. 12

Patterns that make the 6 times table easier

  • Five times plus one more group

    6 × 7 is 5 × 7 plus 7: 35 + 7 = 42. The 5 times table is easy, so this works for every 6 times fact.

  • Double the 3 times table

    6 × 4 is double 3 × 4: double 12 is 24.

  • 6 times an even number ends in that number

    6 × 2 = 12, 6 × 4 = 24, 6 × 6 = 36, 6 × 8 = 48. The last digit of the answer is the even number you started with.

Questions and answers

What is the 6 times table?

The 6 times table is the list of answers you get when you multiply 6 by 1, 2, 3 and so on. Up to 12 it is 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72.

What is 6 times 12?

6 × 12 = 72. Some schools teach each table up to 10 and others up to 12, so it is worth learning both 6 × 11 = 66 and 6 × 12 = 72.

How do you skip count by 6?

Start at 6 and add 6 each time: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60. Skip counting by 6 gives the same numbers as the 6 times table.

Which facts in the 6 times table should I practice most?

Children usually need the most practice with the facts that have larger numbers, such as 6 × 7 = 42, 6 × 8 = 48, 6 × 6 = 36. Practice a few at a time, mixed with facts the child already knows.

How is the 6 times table used for division?

Every multiplication fact gives two division facts. Because 6 × 6 = 36, you also know 36 ÷ 6 = 6 and 36 ÷ 6 = 6.
