Multiplication Facts

• Two or more numbers can be multiplied in any order. Their product always

remains the same.
For example, 6 × 8 = 48 and 8 × 6 = 48

• When a number is multiplied by 1, the product is Mental Maths
the number itself.

For example, 11 × 1 = 11 or 1 × 11 = 11 (a) 175 × 1 = ?
(b) 162 × 0 = ?
• When a number is multiplied by 0, the product is
always 0.

For example, 9 × 0 = 0 and 12 × 0 = 0

Patterns in Tables

There is a pattern in tables that can help you to memorize the tables easily.
Observe the pattern in the table of 9.

1 × 9 = 9 (0 + 9 = 9) 6 × 9 = 54 (5 + 4 = 9)

2 × 9 = 18 (1 + 8 = 9) 7 × 9 = 63 (6 + 3 = 9)

3 × 9 = 27 (2 + 7 = 9) 8 × 9 = 72 (7 + 2 = 9)

4 × 9 = 36 (3 + 6 = 9) 9 × 9 = 81 (8 + 1 = 9)

5 × 9 = 45 (4 + 5 = 9) 10 × 9 = 90 (9 + 0 = 9)

Note that the sum of the digits of the product is always 9.
