5 times table

The 5 times table is what you get when you skip-count by 5s: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60. Every answer ends in 5 or 0.

5 Times Table

  • 5 × 1 = 5
  • 5 × 2 = 10
  • 5 × 3 = 15
  • 5 × 4 = 20
  • 5 × 5 = 25
  • 5 × 6 = 30
  • 5 × 7 = 35
  • 5 × 8 = 40
  • 5 × 9 = 45

What we worked out for the 5s

  • Facts still to learn: if a child already knows the tables below 5 and the 10s, the 5 times table up to 5 × 12 has only 7 new facts: 5 × 5, 5 × 6, 5 × 7, 5 × 8, 5 × 9, 5 × 11 and 5 × 12. The rest are facts from the earlier tables in reverse order (5 × 2 is 2 × 5) or from the 10s.
  • England's multiplication tables check: the 25-question test in Year 4 has 1 to 3 questions from the 5 times table. The five tables the framework rates hardest (6, 7, 8, 9 and 12) get 2 to 4 each.
  • 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 "5 times table" (US) were Timestables.com, DreamBox, Cuemath, a Teachers Pay Teachers search page and Twinkl. We read the three with readable text (a Teachers Pay Teachers search page and Twinkl had none). 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 5s, and none counts the facts still left to learn.

Patterns in the 5 times table

  • The ones digit alternates: 5, 0, 5, 0. An odd number times 5 ends in 5; an even number times 5 ends in 0.
  • Each answer is half of the 10 times table answer: 10 × 8 = 80, so 5 × 8 = 40.
  • The answers match the minutes on a clock face: when the minute hand points to the 7, it is 35 minutes past the hour, and 5 × 7 = 35.

Row 5 and column 5 hold the same answers: 5 × 7 and 7 × 5 are both 35. You can print the multiplication chart with the 5s shaded.

A memory trick: multiply by 10, then halve

5 × 8: 10 × 8 = 80, and half of 80 is 40. 5 × 7: half of 70 is 35. It works for bigger numbers too: 5 × 16 is half of 160, which is 80.

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.

  • 5 × 9 = 40? No. The slip: counting one 5 too few. Check: 9 is odd, so 5 × 9 must end in 5. Half of 90 is 45.
  • 5 × 6 = 35? No. The slip: 30 and 35 sit side by side in the count. Check: 6 is even, so the answer ends in 0: half of 60 is 30.

The 5 times table and division

To divide by 5, double the number and divide by 10. 45 ÷ 5: double 45 is 90, and 90 ÷ 10 = 9. So 45 ÷ 5 = 9, because 5 × 9 = 45.

A multiplication fact with two different numbers gives two division facts: because 5 × 7 = 35, 35 ÷ 5 = 7 and 35 ÷ 7 = 5. Here are the twelve division facts for dividing by 5:

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 5s

  • United States: Common Core 3.OA.C.7 expects that by the end of Grade 3 children "know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers", which covers 5 × 1 to 5 × 9. 5 × 10, 5 × 11 and 5 × 12 go beyond the standard.
  • England: the 5s belong to Year 2, when the national curriculum says pupils should "recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables, including recognising odd and even numbers". By the end of Year 4, pupils should know all the 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."
