10 times table, put a zero on the end.

The 10 times table is 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120 up to 10 × 12. It is quick to learn because the rule is about place value, not memory: multiplying by 10 moves every digit one place to the left. The tool above shows the table, hides answers, runs a scored quiz and prints a chart or sheet.

How to use the 10 times table tool

1. Click Table to see the facts, the patterns for this number and the skip counting line. Go up to shows the table to 10, 12, 15 or 20.
2. Tick Hide the answers to test yourself. Tap a row to reveal its answer.
3. Click Practice quiz, then Start the quiz. Type each answer and press Enter. A wrong answer shows a quick way to work it out.
4. Under Quiz questions choose 10, 20, 30 or every fact once. Tick Ask both ways round or Include division to make the quiz harder.
5. At the end, read your score and click Practise the missed ones to go over only the facts you got wrong.
6. Use Print table for a clean sheet, Print practice sheet for a blank one, Copy table to paste the list, and Copy link to share your settings.

The 10 times table, 1 to 12

Why a zero on the end works

In a number like 34, the 3 is worth thirty and the 4 is worth four. Multiply by 10 and each is worth ten times more: 3 becomes three hundred and 4 becomes forty. The zero holds the ones place, so 34 × 10 = 340. This is the same reason 10 × 10 = 100 and 10 × 100 = 1,000.

Decimals and division

The rule is the same for decimals. 10 × 3.5 = 35 and 10 × 0.7 = 7. Dividing by 10 is the reverse: 90 ÷ 10 = 9 and 6 ÷ 10 = 0.6. For whole numbers ending in 0, take one zero off.

Last digits and tens digits

The ones digit is always 0. The tens digit counts up 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and then 10 × 10 = 100 gives a hundreds digit. 10 × 11 = 110 and 10 × 12 = 120. Every answer is even, and every answer is a multiple of 5 too.

Using ten to build other tables

The 10 table is the base for tricks in other tables. 9 × k is 10k minus k. 11 × k is 10k plus k. 12 × k is 10k plus 2k. 8 × k is 10k minus 2k. If the 10 table feels automatic, those tables become much shorter to learn.

Worked examples

• Ten-pack. 10 packs of 6 pens make 10 × 6 = 60 pens.
• Bigger number. 10 × 47 = 470.
• Decimal. 10 × 2.5 = 25.
• Division. 120 ÷ 10 = 12, because 10 × 12 = 120.
• Past 12. 10 × 15 = 150 and 10 × 20 = 200.

Beyond 12: 10 × 13 to 10 × 20

Set Go up to to 20 and the tool shows these as well. For any of them, split the number: 10 × 13 is 10 × 10 plus 10 × 3, which is 100 + 30 = 130.

Common mistakes

• Adding a zero to a decimal: 10 × 2.5 is not 2.50. Move the decimal point instead, to get 25.
• Forgetting the zero in 10 × 10 = 100.
• Writing 10 × 11 as 101 or 1010. The answer is 110.

A way to learn it

This table needs the rule, not drills. Say it out loud, test a few bigger numbers such as 10 × 35, and take the quiz once to check. Then use the 10 table for tricks in 9, 11 and 12.

Next, try the 11 times table, or go back to the 9 times table. To see every table in one grid, use the times tables chart. To make your own cards, try the flashcard maker.
