The 7 times table
Seven is often called the trickiest table — but you already know most of it. Learn the facts, then use the tricks to lock in the hard ones.
- 7×1=7
- 7×2=14
- 7×3=21
- 7×4=28
- 7×5=35
- 7×6=42
- 7×7=49
- 7×8=56
- 7×9=63
- 7×10=70
- 7×11=77
- 7×12=84
How to learn the 7s
Each line means “7 groups of”. So 7 × 4 = 28 means four groups of 7 make 28. Every answer is just 7 more than the one before: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35…
The highlighted facts, 7 × 6 = 42, 7 × 7 = 49 and 7 × 8 = 56, 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
A week has 7 days. Three weeks are 7 × 3 = 21 days; a 12-week term is 7 × 12 = 84 days.
Four ways to make the 7s easy
You already know most of it
7 × 3 is the same as 3 × 7. If you know your 2s to 6s, the only new facts are 7 × 7, 7 × 8 and 7 × 9.
7 × 4 = 4 × 7 = 285, 6, 7, 8
56 = 7 × 8: the digits 5, 6, 7, 8 are in counting order. Saying “five, six, seven, eight” is the quickest way to remember it.
56 = 7 × 8Split it into 5s and 2s
Seven is 5 + 2. Work out the 5s fact and the 2s fact, then add.
7 × 6 = 30 + 12 = 42Build from a fact you know
Each answer is 7 more than the one before. Forgot 7 × 7? Start from 7 × 6 = 42.
7 × 7 = 42 + 7 = 49Spot the pattern
Last digits of 7 × 1 to 7 × 10:
Every last digit, once. From 7 × 1 to 7 × 10 the last digits are 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0: every digit from 0 to 9 appears exactly once.
Diagonal stripes. On a hundred square each multiple of 7 sits 7 squares after the last, making slanting stripes.
Odd, even, odd, even. 7, 14, 21, 28 — adding an odd number flips odd to even and back.
The matching division facts
Every multiplication fact gives you a division fact for free. If 7 × 6 = 42, then 42 ÷ 7 = 6.
- 7 ÷ 7 = 1
- 14 ÷ 7 = 2
- 21 ÷ 7 = 3
- 28 ÷ 7 = 4
- 35 ÷ 7 = 5
- 42 ÷ 7 = 6
- 49 ÷ 7 = 7
- 56 ÷ 7 = 8
- 63 ÷ 7 = 9
- 70 ÷ 7 = 10
- 77 ÷ 7 = 11
- 84 ÷ 7 = 12
