- 16×2=32
- 16×3=48
- 16×4=64
- 16×5=80
- 16×6=96
- 16×7=112
- 16×8=128

How to learn the 16s
Each line means “16 groups of”. So 16 × 4 = 64 means four groups of 16 make 64. Every answer is just 16 more than the one before: 16, 32, 48, 64, 80…
The highlighted facts, 16 × 7 = 112, 16 × 8 = 128, 16 × 9 = 144 and 16 × 12 = 192, are the ones learners usually find hardest. The tips below give you a way into each one.
Self-test: press “Hide answers”, say each answer out loud, then tap a fact to check it.
In real life
There are 16 ounces in a pound, so 3 pounds are 16 × 3 = 48 ounces.
Three ways to make the 16s easy
Double the 8s
Find the 8s answer, then double it.
8 × 7 = 56 → 16 × 7 = 112Ten plus six
Split 16 into 10 and 6 and add the answers.
16 × 9 = 90 + 54 = 144Double four times
Start with the number and double it four times.
16 × 3: 3 → 6 → 12 → 24 → 48Spot the pattern
Last digits of 16 × 1 to 16 × 10:
Same endings as the 6s. 16, 32, 48, 64, 80: the last digits repeat 6, 2, 8, 4, 0.
A famous match. 16 × 9 = 144, the same as 12 × 12.
Inside the 2s, 4s and 8s. Every 16s answer is also in the 2s, 4s and 8s tables.
The matching division facts
Every multiplication fact gives you a division fact for free. If 16 × 7 = 112, then 112 ÷ 16 = 7.
- 16 ÷ 16 = 1
- 32 ÷ 16 = 2
- 48 ÷ 16 = 3
- 64 ÷ 16 = 4
- 80 ÷ 16 = 5
- 96 ÷ 16 = 6
- 112 ÷ 16 = 7
- 128 ÷ 16 = 8
- 144 ÷ 16 = 9
- 160 ÷ 16 = 10
- 176 ÷ 16 = 11
- 192 ÷ 16 = 12
