7 times table
The 7 times table is what you get when you skip-count by 7s: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84. Its last digits follow no easy pattern, so it helps to build each fact from the 5s and the 2s.
7 Times Table
- 7 × 1 = 7
- 7 × 2 = 14
- 7 × 3 = 21
- 7 × 4 = 28
- 7 × 5 = 35
- 7 × 6 = 42
- 7 × 7 = 49
- 7 × 8 = 56
- 7 × 9 = 63
- 7 × 10 = 70
- 7 × 11 = 77
- 7 × 12 = 84

What we worked out for the 7s
- Facts still to learn: if a child already knows the tables below 7 and the 10s, the 7 times table up to 7 × 12 has only 5 new facts: 7 × 7, 7 × 8, 7 × 9, 7 × 11 and 7 × 12. The rest are facts from the earlier tables in reverse order (7 × 2 is 2 × 7) or from the 10s.
- England's multiplication tables check: the 25-question test in Year 4 has 2 to 4 questions from the 7 times table. The framework names the 7s 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 "7 times table" (US) were Timestables.com (two pages), DoodleLearning, NCETM and Cuemath. 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 7s, and none counts the facts still left to learn; DoodleLearning points out some facts a child already knows but stops there.
Patterns in the 7 times table
- The ones digits of 7 × 1 to 7 × 10 are 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0: every digit appears once, so the last digit gives no easy clue.
- The answers alternate between odd and even: 7, 14, 21, 28.
- By the time a child reaches the 7s, most of the table is already known from other tables: 7 × 3 is 3 × 7, and 7 × 5 is 5 × 7.

A memory trick: split 7 into 5 and 2
To multiply a number by 7, multiply it by 5, multiply it by 2 and add the answers. 7 × 8: 40 + 16 = 56. To remember 7 × 8, say "5, 6, 7, 8": 56 = 7 × 8.
Common Core 3.OA.B.5 uses this same split of 7 into 5 and 2 in its example: "Knowing that 8 × 5 = 40 and 8 × 2 = 16, one can find 8 × 7 as 8 × (5 + 2) = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2) = 40 + 16 = 56. (Distributive property.)"
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.
- 7 × 8 = 54? No. The slip: 54 (6 × 9) and 56 (7 × 8) are close, and both facts are learned late. Check: 5 × 8 + 2 × 8 = 40 + 16 = 56.
- 7 × 6 = 49? No. The slip: 49 is 7 × 7, the one square number in the table, so it is the answer that comes to mind. Check: 35 + 7 = 42.
- 7 × 9 = 72? No. The slip: 72 is 8 × 9, the next fact down the 9s column. Check: 7 × 10 = 70, take away one 7: 63.
The 7 times table and division
Common Core describes division as finding an unknown factor. 56 ÷ 7 asks "7 × what = 56?" and the answer is 8. Counting by sevens also works: 56 is the eighth number in 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56.
A multiplication fact with two different numbers gives two division facts: because 7 × 8 = 56, 56 ÷ 7 = 8 and 56 ÷ 8 = 7. Here are the twelve division facts for dividing by 7:
- 7 ÷ 7 = 1
- 14 ÷ 7 = 2
- 21 ÷ 7 = 3
- 28 ÷ 7 = 4
- 35 ÷ 7 = 5
- 42 ÷ 7 = 6
- 49 ÷ 7 = 7
- 56 ÷ 7 = 8
- 63 ÷ 7 = 9
- 70 ÷ 7 = 10
- 77 ÷ 7 = 11
- 84 ÷ 7 = 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 7s
- 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 7 × 1 to 7 × 9. 7 × 10, 7 × 11 and 7 × 12 go beyond the standard.
- England: the 7s 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."
