How it works

Every line on this 2 multiplication chart is a double: 2 × 7 = 14 is 7 + 7. The 2 times table runs from 2 × 1 = 2 to 2 × 12 = 24 here, or to 2 × 20 = 40 with Go up to × 20.

Read the full guide

Every fact is a double

Multiplying by 2 is adding a number to itself, so 2 × 7 is 7 + 7 = 14. A pupil who knows the addition doubles to 10 + 10 already has 10 lines of this chart. Past 10, double the tens and the ones apart: 2 × 16 is 20 + 12 = 32.

Go up to × 20 for bigger doubles

Choose × 20 under Go up to and 8 more lines appear, 2 × 13 = 26 to 2 × 20 = 40. They train the split that doubles any number: for 2 × 47, double 40 is 80, double 7 is 14, and 80 + 14 = 94.

Every other table's × 2 line is this chart turned around: 7 × 2 = 14 is 2 × 7 = 14.
Double a 2s answer for the 4s, again for the 8s: 2 × 6 = 12, 4 × 6 = 24, 8 × 6 = 48.
Halving undoes every line: 2 × 9 = 18 says half of 18 is 9, the division fact 18 ÷ 2 = 9.

Questions and answers

Is the 2 times table the same as counting by 2?

The answers are the same numbers, but the skill differs. Counting reaches 2 × 8 by saying eight numbers. A multiplication chart of 2 with its facts mixed up asks for 16 straight away. If the count is shaky, start with skip counting by 2.

Which numbers belong to the 2 times table?

Every even number does. Look at the last digit only: if it is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8, the number is 2 times something. So 7,938 is in the table, because it ends in 8, and it is 2 × 3,969.

Is there a multiplication game for the 2 times table?

Yes, a beat-your-score quiz. Open More options and choose Blank and Mixed up. Press New quiz, type all 12 doubles and press Check. The page keeps your score out of 12 in this browser. Then set Go up to at × 20 and try for 20.

All 20 facts

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

How this list was compiled: Own work: each of the 20 facts, and every sum in the notes, was worked out by multiplication and again by repeated addition, and the two answers agreed. The real-world notes were checked against Wikipedia on 2026-09-18 and 2026-09-20, among them the 14 days of a fortnight (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortnight), the 18 holes in a round of golf (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf_course) and the 16 pieces each chess player starts with (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess).
