| Fact | Answer | Division |
|---|---|---|
| 9 × 1 | 9 | 9 ÷ 9 = 1 |
| 9 × 2 | 18 | 18 ÷ 9 = 2 |
| 9 × 3 | 27 | 27 ÷ 9 = 3 |
| 9 × 4 | 36 | 36 ÷ 9 = 4 |
| 9 × 5 | 45 | 45 ÷ 9 = 5 |
| 9 × 6 | 54 | 54 ÷ 9 = 6 |
| 9 × 7 | 63 | 63 ÷ 9 = 7 |
| 9 × 8 | 72 | 72 ÷ 9 = 8 |
| 9 × 9 | 81 | 81 ÷ 9 = 9 |
| 9 × 10 | 90 | 90 ÷ 9 = 10 |
| 9 × 11 | 99 | 99 ÷ 9 = 11 |
| 9 × 12 | 108 | 108 ÷ 9 = 12 |
The trick: ten times, minus one
9 × n = 10 × n − n: 9 × 7 = 70 − 7 = 63. Up to 9 × 10 the tens digit is one less than n and the digits add to 9 — the finger trick works for the same reason.
Patterns in the 9s
The last digits from 9 × 1 to 9 × 10 run 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0: every digit from 0 to 9 appears exactly once, so no two answers in the first ten share an ending.
The 9 times table is the 5 times table plus the 4 times table, row by row: 9 × 6 = 5 × 6 + 4 × 6 = 30 + 24 = 54.
Each answer is 9 more than the one before, so if you know 9 × 6 = 54, then 9 × 7 is 54 + 9 = 63.
