12 times table

The 12 times table is what you get when you skip-count by 12s: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144. It ends at 12 × 12 = 144, the largest fact on a 12 × 12 chart.

12 Times Table

  • 12 × 1 = 12
  • 12 × 2 = 24
  • 12 × 3 = 36
  • 12 × 4 = 48
  • 12 × 5 = 60
  • 12 × 6 = 72
  • 12 × 7 = 84
  • 12 × 8 = 96
  • 12 × 9 = 108
  • 12 × 10 = 120
  • 12 × 11 = 132

What we worked out for the 12s

  • Facts still to learn: if a child already knows the tables below 12, the 12 times table up to 12 × 12 has only 1 new fact: 12 × 12. The rest are facts from the earlier tables in reverse order (12 × 2 is 2 × 12).
  • England's multiplication tables check: the 25-question test in Year 4 has 2 to 4 questions from the 12 times table. The framework names the 12s as one of the five hardest tables, so they get more questions than most.
  • A one-page sheet: the table above prints on one page of US Letter or A4. Choose a complete table, a version with the answers left blank in order, or a shuffled version with its own answer key. You can also add the division facts.

On September 25, 2026, the top five Google results for "12 times table" (UK) were Timestables.co.uk, NCETM, DoodleLearning, BBC Bitesize and Emile. We read all five. They list the table and give tips, and some add games or printable charts. None says how many questions in England's check come from the 12s, and none counts the facts still left to learn.

Patterns in the 12 times table

  • Every answer is even, and the ones digits repeat 2, 4, 6, 8, 0, like the 2 times table.
  • 12 × a number is 10 × the number plus 2 × the number: 12 × 7 = 70 + 14 = 84.
  • Because 12 = 3 × 4 and 12 = 2 × 6, every answer is also a multiple of 3, 4 and 6.

Row 12 and column 12 hold the same answers: 12 × 7 and 7 × 12 are both 84. You can print the multiplication chart with the 12s shaded.

A memory trick: multiply by 10 and by 2, then add

Multiply by 10, multiply by 2 and add. 12 × 8: 10 × 8 = 80 and 2 × 8 = 16, so 12 × 8 = 96. The same split gives 12 × 12 = 120 + 24 = 144.

Mix-ups to watch for

These wrong answers are easy to give because each one is a real answer from a nearby fact, or looks like one.

  • 12 × 9 = 180? No. The slip: the digits of 108 get swapped around. Check: 90 + 18 = 108.
  • 12 × 7 = 74? No. The slip: adding 2 to 72 (12 × 6) instead of adding 12. Check: 70 + 14 = 84.

The 12 times table and division

To divide by 12, divide by 4 and then by 3. 84 ÷ 12: 84 ÷ 4 = 21, and 21 ÷ 3 = 7. So 84 ÷ 12 = 7, because 12 × 7 = 84.

A multiplication fact with two different numbers gives two division facts: because 12 × 7 = 84, 84 ÷ 12 = 7 and 84 ÷ 7 = 12. Here are the twelve division facts for dividing by 12:

To print them, choose Division (or Both, side by side) under Facts in the sheet above. The division chart shows every divisor from 1 to 12.

When children learn the 12s

  • United States: Common Core 3.OA.C.7 asks Grade 3 children to "know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers", so the 12s go beyond the standard, though many classrooms still teach them with a 12 × 12 chart.
  • England: the 12s belong to Year 4, when the national curriculum says pupils should "recall multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 × 12".
  • The multiplication tables check (Year 4, June) counts a question as part of the table named first: "the first number in the question will denote the multiplication table the question is part of, for example, 4 × 12 would be considered part of the 4 multiplication table." The framework also says: "There is an emphasis on the 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 multiplication tables because these have been determined to be the most difficult multiplication tables."
