The trick: double four times
16 × n is n doubled four times: 16 × 3 → 6 → 12 → 24 → 48. Every answer is a multiple of 8, and the table contains the powers of 2: 16, 32, 64, 128, 256.
Patterns in the 16s
The last digits repeat a short cycle — 6, 2, 8, 4, 0, 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 — so every answer ends in one of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8.
The 16 times table is the 10 times table plus the 6 times table, row by row: 16 × 6 = 10 × 6 + 6 × 6 = 60 + 36 = 96.
Each answer is 16 more than the one before, so if you know 16 × 6 = 96, then 16 × 7 is 96 + 16 = 112.
