The 27 times table, from 27 × 1 to 27 × 27

Multiplication chart 1 to 27.

How it works

This 27 multiplication chart runs from 1 × 1 to 27 × 27 = 729. 27 is 3 × 3 × 3, so its tinted row keeps landing on numbers the 9 row reached first. For practice, press New practice chart, type the hidden answers and press Check.

Where the 27 row was hiding

A multiplication chart 27 rows deep has 729 squares that hold 254 different answers. The tinted row brings in only 15 of them. Its other 12 answers are on a 26 by 26 grid already: 8 in the 9 row and 4 more in the 18 row. The answers past 27 × 16 = 432 are all new.

Sizes 26 and 28

Chart size, under the chart, redraws the grid one row smaller or larger. A multiplication chart 1-26 is as wide as the alphabet, and its last row is the 13 row doubled. The 1 to 28 grid counts four weeks at a time: 28 × 13 = 364 days, one short of a year.

  • To multiply by 27, multiply by 30 and take away 3 lots. For 27 × 7 that is 210 − 21 = 189.
  • Add the digits of any answer in the 27 row and you get 9 or 18: 27 × 14 = 378, and 3 + 7 + 8 = 18.

Questions and answers

Why is 27 called a cube number?

Because 27 small blocks stack into one cube that is 3 wide, 3 deep and 3 high. It is why a cubic yard holds 27 cubic feet. Seven cube numbers sit on this chart: 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216 and 729.

Is there a 26 multiplication chart or a 28 multiplication chart here?

Both. Under Chart size pick 1 to 26 or 1 to 28. The 26 grid has 676 squares and 239 answers. The multiplication chart 28 by 28 has 784 squares and 267 answers, and there 84 and 168 join the answers that fill 8 squares.

Why does 27 × 4 give the same answer as 9 × 12?

27 is 3 × 9, so 27 × 4 is 9 × 3 × 4, and 3 × 4 makes the 12. Both squares hold 108. Tap any 108 and 6 squares light up: 4 × 27, 6 × 18, 9 × 12 and their turnarounds.

How does the 27 times table go?

27, 54, 81, 108, 135, 162, 189, 216, 243, 270, then 297, 324, 351, 378, 405, 432, 459, 486, 513, 540, and last 567, 594, 621, 648, 675, 702 and 729. Each step adds 30, then takes away 3.
