Multiplication Chart and Times Tables
Tap any square of the chart to see its row, column and product. Practise the facts you miss most, see which ones you know, and print a chart or sheet.
Key facts
- The 1 to 12 chart has 144 squares but 78 different facts, because a × b = b × a: 12 square numbers on the diagonal and 66 mirrored pairs.

7 × 8

7 rows of 8, or 8 rows of 7: both make 56.
- Turned round
- 8 × 7 = 56
- As division
- 56 ÷ 7 = 8

How this works
Method
Each square is its row times its column, and a × b and b × a are one fact. The worked route starts from the easier factor (doubling for 2, 4 and 8, half of ten lots for 5, ten lots minus one for 9) and splits numbers above 12 into 10 and the rest. Practice picks questions at random, weighted towards facts you missed or are still learning; a missed fact comes back 3 questions later. A fact is known after 3 right answers in a row, each within 6 seconds, the time England’s multiplication tables check allows.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I read a multiplication chart?
Find one number in the top row and the other in the left-hand column. Follow the row across and the column down: the square where they meet holds the product. For 7 × 8, go along row 7 to column 8 and you reach 56. Tap or hover over any square here to light up its row and column.
Why is the chart the same on both sides of the diagonal?
Because multiplication can be done in either order: 7 × 8 and 8 × 7 are both 56. The squares on the diagonal (1, 4, 9, 16 …) are the numbers multiplied by themselves, and everything above it is a mirror of everything below. That halves the facts to learn: 1 to 12 has 144 squares but only 78 different facts.
How does the practice decide which facts to ask?
Each question is drawn at random from the tables you chose, weighted by how well you know each fact: one you just missed comes back three questions later, ones you are still learning come up more often than ones you know, and new facts arrive a few at a time. A fact counts as known once you answer it right three times in a row, each in under 6 seconds.
Is my progress saved, and can more than one person practise?
Progress is saved in this browser only, and goes into the backup file at /backup and folder sync if you use them. Nothing is sent anywhere and there is no account. Several people can practise on one device: add each one by a nickname and switch between them; each keeps their own progress.
How do I print a multiplication chart?
Open Print, pick Chart or Blank chart and the size (1–10, 1–12, 1–15 or 1–20), then press Print. It prints on one A4 or US Letter page in black and white, with any highlighted pattern shown as grey squares. Facts to learn and practice sheets print from the same place.
