6 times table

The 6 times table is what you get when you skip-count by 6s: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72. Each answer is double the matching answer in the 3 times table.

6 Times Table

  • 6 × 1 = 6
  • 6 × 2 = 12
  • 6 × 3 = 18
  • 6 × 4 = 24
  • 6 × 5 = 30
  • 6 × 6 = 36
  • 6 × 7 = 42
  • 6 × 8 = 48
  • 6 × 9 = 54
  • 6 × 10 = 60
  • 6 × 11 = 66

What we worked out for the 6s

  • Facts still to learn: if a child already knows the tables below 6 and the 10s, the 6 times table up to 6 × 12 has only 6 new facts: 6 × 6, 6 × 7, 6 × 8, 6 × 9, 6 × 11 and 6 × 12. The rest are facts from the earlier tables in reverse order (6 × 2 is 2 × 6) or from the 10s.
  • England's multiplication tables check: the 25-question test in Year 4 has 2 to 4 questions from the 6 times table. The framework names the 6s 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 "6 times table" (UK) were Timestables.co.uk, DoodleLearning, Oak National Academy, Twinkl and BBC Bitesize. We read the four with readable text (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 6s, and none counts the facts still left to learn.

Patterns in the 6 times table

  • Every answer is even, and the ones digits repeat 6, 2, 8, 4, 0.
  • 6 times an even number ends in the same digit as that number: 6 × 2 = 12, 6 × 4 = 24, 6 × 6 = 36, 6 × 8 = 48.
  • Each answer is double the 3 times table answer: 3 × 7 = 21, so 6 × 7 = 42.

Row 6 and column 6 hold the same answers: 6 × 7 and 7 × 6 are both 42. You can print the multiplication chart with the 6s shaded.

A memory trick: multiply by 5, then add one more group

To multiply a number by 6, multiply it by 5 and add the number once more. 6 × 7: 5 × 7 = 35, and 35 + 7 = 42. 6 × 9: 45 + 9 = 54.

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.

  • 6 × 7 = 48? No. The slip: 42 and 48 sit next to each other in the table. Check: 35 + 7 = 42. By the even-number pattern, 6 × 8 is the fact that ends in 8.
  • 6 × 9 = 56? No. The slip: 54 and 56 look alike, and 56 is the well-known 7 × 8. Check: 45 + 9 = 54.

The 6 times table and division

To divide by 6, halve the number and then divide by 3. 42 ÷ 6: half of 42 is 21, and 21 ÷ 3 = 7. So 42 ÷ 6 = 7, because 6 × 7 = 42.

A multiplication fact with two different numbers gives two division facts: because 6 × 7 = 42, 42 ÷ 6 = 7 and 42 ÷ 7 = 6. Here are the twelve division facts for dividing by 6:

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 6s

  • 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 6 × 1 to 6 × 9. 6 × 10, 6 × 11 and 6 × 12 go beyond the standard.
  • England: the 6s 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."
