How it works
This nine multiplication chart lists the 9 times table from 9 × 1 = 9 to 9 × 12 = 108, and Go up to × 20 carries it on to 9 × 20 = 180. Before a quiz, read the list further down to see how to reach each fact.

Ten lots, take one back
9 is one less than 10, so each line is a tens fact with one lot removed. For 9 × 7, think 10 × 7 = 70, then 70 − 7 = 63. Up to 9 × 10 the tens digit is one less than the multiplier, and the two digits add up to 9.
Quiz the 9s Mixed up
In order, the 9s can be filled in without multiplying: write 0 to 9 down the tens and 9 to 0 down the ones. Open More options, set Order of the facts to Mixed up and press New quiz. That shortcut is gone, so a right answer means the fact is known.
- A nines multiplication chart adds just 4 new facts, 9 × 9 to 9 × 12. Earlier tables covered the rest.
- Finger check for 9 × 7: on two spread hands tuck in finger 7. 6 stand before it, 3 after: 63.
- If 9 × 7 gives 64, 6 + 4 = 10 says it is wrong. Below 9 × 11 the digits always make 9.
Questions and answers
How do I test whether a number is in the 9s?
Add its digits. If the total is 9, or a larger number from the table such as 18, the number is in the 9 times table. The digits of 2,583 total 18, so it is in: 9 × 287.
What is the division shortcut for the 9 times table?
Take a two-digit answer and add 1 to its tens digit. That is the number it was multiplied by: 63 ÷ 9 = 7 because 6 + 1 = 7. It holds from 18 up to 90.
Why are some 9s answers each other backwards?
When two multipliers add up to 11, their answers are mirror images: 9 × 3 = 27 and 9 × 8 = 72, 9 × 4 = 36 and 9 × 7 = 63. Learn one and you hold the digits of its partner.
