Times Table Chart 1–12

What is a times table chart?

A times table chart, also called a multiplication chart or multiplication grid, shows every multiplication fact from 1×1 to 12×12 in a single table. Each row and column is labelled with a number from 1 to 12, and the cell where they meet shows their product. The full chart contains 144 multiplication facts, or 78 unique facts once you account for the fact that 3×4 and 4×3 give the same answer.

How do you read a multiplication chart?

Find the first number along the top row and the second number down the left column. Follow each to where they meet in the grid — that cell shows the answer. For example, to find 7×8, find 7 across the top and 8 down the left side; where they meet shows 56. You can also reverse it: find 8 across the top and 7 down the side, and the answer is the same.

How many multiplication facts are in a 1–12 times table chart?

The full 1–12 chart contains 144 multiplication facts (12 rows × 12 columns). Because multiplication is commutative — meaning 3×4 and 4×3 give the same answer — there are only 78 unique facts. The 12 cells along the main diagonal (1×1, 2×2, all the way to 12×12) are the square numbers: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, and 144.
