| Fact | Answer | Division |
|---|---|---|
| 12 × 1 | 12 | 12 ÷ 12 = 1 |
| 12 × 2 | 24 | 24 ÷ 12 = 2 |
| 12 × 3 | 36 | 36 ÷ 12 = 3 |
| 12 × 4 | 48 | 48 ÷ 12 = 4 |
| 12 × 5 | 60 | 60 ÷ 12 = 5 |
| 12 × 6 | 72 | 72 ÷ 12 = 6 |
| 12 × 7 | 84 | 84 ÷ 12 = 7 |
| 12 × 8 | 96 | 96 ÷ 12 = 8 |
| 12 × 9 | 108 | 108 ÷ 12 = 9 |
| 12 × 10 | 120 | 120 ÷ 12 = 10 |
| 12 × 11 | 132 | 132 ÷ 12 = 11 |
| 12 × 12 | 144 | 144 ÷ 12 = 12 |
The trick: ten times plus two times
12 × n = 10 × n + 2 × n: 12 × 7 = 70 + 14 = 84. It's also the dozen table — 12 × 12 = 144 is a gross.
Patterns in the 12s
The last digits repeat a short cycle — 2, 4, 6, 8, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 — so every answer ends in one of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8.
The 12 times table is the 10 times table plus the 2 times table, row by row: 12 × 6 = 10 × 6 + 2 × 6 = 60 + 12 = 72.
Each answer is 12 more than the one before, so if you know 12 × 6 = 72, then 12 × 7 is 72 + 12 = 84.
