12 times table facts

12 times table up to × 12.

How it works

The 12 math facts are the lines of the 12 times table, 12 × 1 = 12 to 12 × 12 = 144, and Go up to × 20 runs on to 12 × 20 = 240. Each is a count of dozens.

Ten of it plus two of it

Since 12 is 10 + 2, every line is a 10s fact and a 2s fact added together. For 12 × 7, take 70 and 14: 70 + 14 = 84. Doubling works too, because 12 is 6 doubled: 6 × 9 = 54, so 12 × 9 = 108.

Quiz all 12 at once

With tables 1 to 11 known, 12 × 12 = 144 is the only new line. The rest have been met turned around, as 7 × 12 = 84. New quiz hides only 6 answers, so set Show the numbers to Blank under More options, type all 12 and press Check.

  • 12 has 6 divisors, more than any smaller number, so a dozen shares evenly between 2, 3, 4 or 6.
  • Feet and inches are 12 math facts at work: 4 feet is 12 × 4 = 48 inches.

Questions and answers

Which facts count as the 12 math facts?

They are the 12 lines of the 12 times table, with the answers 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132 and 144. Each line brings two division facts: for 12 × 7 = 84, 84 ÷ 12 = 7 and 84 ÷ 7 = 12.

How can a number be tested for the 12 times table?

It must pass two tests, because 12 is 3 × 4. Its digits add up to a multiple of 3, and its last two digits make a multiple of 4. For 324, 3 + 2 + 4 = 9 and 24 is 4 × 6, so 324 is 12 × 27.

What is past 12 × 12 on this chart?

Eight more lines, once Go up to is at × 20. The hours in a week are 12 × 14 = 168. The pence in a British pound before 1971 were 12 × 20 = 240: 12 pence to a shilling, 20 shillings to a pound.

All 20 facts

Know these first: × 1, × 2, × 5, × 10 4

  • 12 × 1 = 12 One dozen, as in a dozen eggs. A foot is 12 inches, a year has 12 months and a clock face is numbered 1 to 12.
  • 12 × 2 = 24 Double 12: 12 + 12 = 24. The hour hand goes around the 12 hours of a clock face twice a day, and that makes the 24 hours.
  • 12 × 5 = 60 Half of 12 × 10 = 120. The 12 numbers on a clock face are 5 minutes apart, and that makes the 60 minutes in an hour.
  • 12 × 10 = 120 Write 12, then a 0. Ten years, a decade, are 120 months. Ten dozen is also known as a great hundred.

One step: add a 12, take a 12, or double 5

  • 12 × 3 = 36 12 × 2 = 24, and one more 12 makes 24 + 12 = 36. A yard is 3 feet of 12 inches each, so a yard is 36 inches.
  • 12 × 4 = 48 Double 12 × 2 = 24 to get 48. Four feet are 48 inches, and 4 years are 48 months.
  • 12 × 6 = 72 12 × 5 = 60, and one more 12 makes 60 + 12 = 72. Six feet are 72 inches. On the big chart 72 sits at 8 × 9 as well.
  • 12 × 9 = 108 Take one 12 away from 12 × 10 = 120: 120 − 12 = 108. Nine dozen eggs are 108 eggs. The digits add up to 9: 1 + 0 + 8 = 9.
  • 12 × 11 = 132 12 × 10 = 120, and one more 12 makes 120 + 12 = 132. Eleven feet are 132 inches.

Two steps: 12 × 7, 12 × 8, 12 × 12 3

  • 12 × 7 = 84 Split the 12: 10 × 7 = 70 and 2 × 7 = 14, and 70 + 14 = 84. Seven years are 84 months. On a 12 by 12 chart, 84 sits only in the 12 row and the 12 column.
  • 12 × 8 = 96 Split the 12: 10 × 8 = 80 and 2 × 8 = 16, and 80 + 16 = 96. Or double 12 × 4 = 48. Eight feet are 96 inches.
  • 12 × 12 = 144 12 × 10 = 120 and 12 × 2 = 24, and 120 + 24 = 144. A dozen dozens is called a gross. A square foot, 12 inches by 12 inches, covers 144 square inches.

Past the chart: 12 × 13 to 12 × 20 8

  • 12 × 13 = 156 12 × 10 = 120 and 12 × 3 = 36, and 120 + 36 = 156. A baker's dozen is 13, so 12 baker's dozens are 156.
  • 12 × 14 = 168 12 × 10 = 120 and 12 × 4 = 48, and 120 + 48 = 168. A week has 168 hours: 7 days of 24 hours are the same as 14 half days of 12 hours.
  • 12 × 15 = 180 12 × 10 = 120 and 12 × 5 = 60, and 120 + 60 = 180. Fifteen years are 180 months, and 180 minutes are 3 hours.
  • 12 × 16 = 192 12 × 10 = 120 and 12 × 6 = 72, and 120 + 72 = 192. It is double 12 × 8 = 96. A pound is 16 ounces, so 12 pounds are 192 ounces.
  • 12 × 17 = 204 12 × 10 = 120 and 12 × 7 = 84, and 120 + 84 = 204. Seventeen feet are 204 inches.
  • 12 × 18 = 216 12 × 10 = 120 and 12 × 8 = 96, and 120 + 96 = 216. Eighteen years are 216 months. 216 is also 6 × 6 × 6, the small cubes in a 6 by 6 by 6 block.
  • 12 × 19 = 228 Go 1 past it to 12 × 20 = 240, then take one 12 away: 240 − 12 = 228. Nineteen dozen eggs are 228 eggs.
  • 12 × 20 = 240 12 × 2 = 24, then a 0. Before 1971 a British pound was 20 shillings of 12 pence each, which made 240 pence.
