9 times table
The 9 times table is what you get when you skip-count by 9s: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, 99, 108. Each answer is the 10 times table answer minus the number: 9 × 7 = 70 − 7 = 63.

What we worked out for the 9s
- Facts still to learn: if a child already knows the tables below 9 and the 10s, the 9 times table up to 9 × 12 has only 3 new facts: 9 × 9, 9 × 11 and 9 × 12. The rest are facts from the earlier tables in reverse order (9 × 2 is 2 × 9) or from the 10s.
- England's multiplication tables check: the 25-question test in Year 4 has 2 to 4 questions from the 9 times table. The framework names the 9s 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 "9 times table" (US) were Timestables.com, Cuemath, Learning Street, K5 Learning and DoodleLearning. 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 9s, and none counts the facts still left to learn; DoodleLearning points out some facts a child already knows but stops there.
Patterns in the 9 times table
- From 9 × 1 to 9 × 10 the digits of each answer add up to 9 (63: 6 + 3 = 9). 9 × 11 = 99 adds up to 18, and 9 × 12 = 108 adds up to 9 again.
- From 9 × 2 to 9 × 10 the tens digit is one less than the number you multiply by, and the ones digit is 9 minus the tens digit: 9 × 7 = 63 (6 is one less than 7, and 9 − 6 = 3).
- From 9 × 1 to 9 × 10, the tens digit rises from 0 to 9 while the ones digit falls from 9 to 0 (09, 18, 27 and so on).

A memory trick: multiply by 10, then subtract the number
To multiply a number by 9, multiply it by 10 and subtract the number. 9 × 7 = 70 − 7 = 63. 9 × 12 = 120 − 12 = 108. The finger trick (fold down the finger for the number you multiply by and read the fingers on each side as tens and ones) only covers 9 × 1 to 9 × 10; this method works for any number.
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.
- 9 × 7 = 56? No. The slip: 56 (7 × 8) and 63 (7 × 9) are neighbors in the 7s. Check: the tens digit is one less than 7, so 6, and 6 + 3 = 9: 63.
- 9 × 6 = 56? No. The slip: 54 and 56 look alike. Check: 5 + 6 = 11, not 9, so 56 is not in the 9 times table. 60 − 6 = 54.
The 9 times table and division
For products from 18 to 90, dividing by 9 gives the tens digit plus 1: 72 ÷ 9 = 8, 45 ÷ 9 = 5. And a number is divisible by 9 when its digits add up to a multiple of 9.
A multiplication fact with two different numbers gives two division facts: because 9 × 7 = 63, 63 ÷ 9 = 7 and 63 ÷ 7 = 9. Here are the twelve division facts for dividing by 9:
- 9 ÷ 9 = 1
- 18 ÷ 9 = 2
- 27 ÷ 9 = 3
- 36 ÷ 9 = 4
- 45 ÷ 9 = 5
- 54 ÷ 9 = 6
- 63 ÷ 9 = 7
- 72 ÷ 9 = 8
- 81 ÷ 9 = 9
- 90 ÷ 9 = 10
- 99 ÷ 9 = 11
- 108 ÷ 9 = 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 9s
- 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 9 × 1 to 9 × 9. 9 × 10, 9 × 11 and 9 × 12 go beyond the standard.
- England: the 9s 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."
