Multiplication Table Generator

About the Multiplication Table Generator

Type any number to see its times table — the table of 17 up to ×20, the 12 times table up to ×100, or a decimal or negative number such as 2.5 or −6 — or type a range such as 2-12 to get a whole set of tables at once. Every answer is worked out exactly, with no rounding (0.1 × 3 is 0.3, and 999,999,999,999 × 10,000 is 9,999,999,999,990,000), and a single table comes with its patterns and mental-maths shortcuts.

The Chart tab draws a multiplication chart — 1–10, 1–12, 1–15, 1–20 or any rows and columns you choose — where pointing at, tapping or arrowing to a square lights up its row and column; you can also shade the square numbers and the multiples of any number. The Quiz tab is a timed practice quiz on one table or a mix, with missing-number and division questions, a score, the facts you missed or answered slowly, and one click to practise just those.

Tables and charts can be copied, saved as CSV, printed or downloaded as a PDF made in your browser — with the answers, or blank as a practice sheet.

Common uses

• Looking up a fact quickly — what is 17 × 13? (221)
• Printing a set of tables, say 2 to 20, or a 1–12 chart for a wall or a homework folder.
• Making a blank practice sheet or a blank chart to fill in, and a matching answer sheet.
• A few minutes of timed practice before a times-tables test.
• Showing patterns: the 9s and 11s, square numbers on the diagonal, and multiples across the chart.

Fewer facts to learn than it looks

7 × 8 and 8 × 7 are the same fact, so the 100 squares of a 10 × 10 chart hold only 55 different facts, and a 12 × 12 chart holds 78. The 1s, the 2s (doubles), the 5s (half of the 10s) and the 10s (add a 0) take care of most of them. Add the square numbers (3 × 3, 4 × 4 …) and only 15 facts of the 1–10 chart are left: 3 × 4, 3 × 6, 3 × 7, 3 × 8, 3 × 9, 4 × 6, 4 × 7, 4 × 8, 4 × 9, 6 × 7, 6 × 8, 6 × 9, 7 × 8, 7 × 9 and 8 × 9.

Those can be built from easier ones: 6 × 7 = 5 × 7 + 7 = 42, 8 × 7 = double 4 × 7 = 56, and 9 × 7 = 10 × 7 − 7 = 63. A short quiz on most days, repeating the facts it lists as wrong or slow, is an easy routine to keep.

Patterns worth knowing

• 9s: up to 9 × 10 the tens digit goes up by one and the ones digit down by one (09, 18, 27 … 90), so the two digits add up to 9. The digits of any multiple of 9 add up to a multiple of 9.
• 11s: up to 11 × 9 the digit is written twice (11 × 6 = 66). For a two-digit number whose digits add up to less than 10, put their sum in the middle: 11 × 23 = 2 (2 + 3) 3 = 253.
• 5s end in 5 or 0 and are half of the 10s: 5 × 14 = 140 ÷ 2 = 70.
• 4s and 8s: double the 2s, then double again: 8 × 6 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 6 = 48.
• Squares run down the diagonal of the chart — 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 … — and the gaps between them are the odd numbers 3, 5, 7, 9 …

Bigger numbers in your head

Split a number into tens and ones and multiply each part: 17 × 6 = 10 × 6 + 7 × 6 = 60 + 42 = 102. For a number just below a round one, round up and take away: 19 × 6 = 20 × 6 − 6 = 114. For a decimal, leave out the point, multiply, and put the point back: 25 × 6 = 150, so 2.5 × 6 = 15. For written working with every carry, use the long multiplication calculator.

Printing and the PDF

The PDF is made in your browser with the standard Helvetica font, so no font has to be downloaded and nothing is uploaded. A single table is printed in large type; several tables are arranged in columns on as few pages as possible, and every page repeats the title. Practice sheets get a name and date line and an answer line for each fact. A chart prints on one page, turned sideways when that gives bigger squares. A 1–33 chart is about the largest that still prints legibly (numbers of at least 5 pt); with five- or six-figure products fewer squares fit, and for a chart too big for one page the tool says how many fit, so you can make it smaller or save the CSV instead. Print uses your browser’s print dialog and prints just the result, without the rest of the page.

Limitations

• Table numbers can have up to 12 digits before the decimal point and 6 after it. Fractions such as 1/3 are not accepted — type a decimal.
• Commas and spaces separate tables, so type big numbers without separators (1500, not 1,500 or 1 500) and decimals with a point (2.5, not 2,5). The tool points out these mix-ups when it spots them.
• Up to 100 tables and 1,000 rows at once, with at most 5,000 lines on the page; multipliers are whole numbers from −10,000 to 10,000.
• Charts use whole numbers from −100 to 1,000, with up to 50 rows and 50 columns. On paper, about 33 × 33 squares of everyday numbers fit legibly on one page, and fewer with bigger products — for example about 19 × 19 when the products have six figures.
• The quiz uses whole-number tables from 0 to 999 and asks up to 200 questions. It is a practice quiz, not a copy of any school test such as the UK Multiplication Tables Check.

Privacy

Everything happens in your browser: tables, charts, PDFs and quiz answers are never sent anywhere. Your recent quiz scores and your choices (such as the number format and paper size) are kept only in this browser’s storage; Clear removes the scores.
