The 36 times table, from 36 × 1 to 36 × 36

Multiplication chart 1 to 36.

How it works

This 36 multiplication chart shows every fact from 1 × 1 to 36 × 36 = 1,296. A yard is 36 inches, so the tinted 36 row turns yards into inches: 36 × 5 = 180 means 5 yards is 180 inches.

Six square numbers in the tinted row

36 is 6 × 6, and a square number times a square number is a square number again. So the 36 row holds six of them, at its 1st, 4th, 9th, 16th, 25th and 36th squares: 36, 144, 324, 576, 900 and 1,296. Each one also sits on the framed diagonal.

A chart the shape of a square yard

A multiplication chart of 36 rows and 36 columns has 1,296 squares. Draw each one 1 inch wide and the grid is 1 yard on every side, which is why a square yard is 1,296 square inches. They hold only 423 different answers. 60, 72, 120 and 180 fill 10 squares each, more than any other.

  • To multiply by 36, multiply by 6 and then by 6 again: 7 × 6 = 42 and 42 × 6 = 252, so 36 × 7 = 252.
  • Every fourth answer in the 36 row is a multiple of 144, a gross: 36 × 4 = 144, 36 × 8 = 288, 36 × 12 = 432.
  • Roll two dice and multiply them. Every answer you can get sits in the top left corner, rows and columns 1 to 6: 36 squares.

Questions and answers

How do I change yards to inches with the chart?

Find the number of yards along the top and read down to the tinted 36 row. Under 7 is 252, so 7 yards is 252 inches. Going the other way, 432 sits under 12, so 432 inches is 12 yards.

Why does 36 fill 9 squares and not 10?

Because 6 × 6 is its own turnaround, so it fills 1 square where other facts fill 2. Add 2 squares each for 1 × 36, 2 × 18, 3 × 12 and 4 × 9 and you get 9.

How many facts are on the chart?

Count a fact and its turnaround once and there are 666. Each row adds as many new facts as its number: row 1 adds 1, row 2 adds 2, and row 36 adds 36. The total is 1 + 2 + 3 and on up to 36.

All 36 facts

36 × 1 to 36 × 10 10

  • 36 × 1 = 36 A yard is 36 inches, so this row turns yards into inches. 36 is 6 × 6 as well, and two dice can land 36 ways.
  • 36 × 2 = 72 2 yards is 72 inches. With the turnarounds 72 fills 10 squares, and no answer on this chart fills more.
  • 36 × 3 = 108 3 yards is 108 inches.
  • 36 × 4 = 144 A dozen dozens, which is called a gross. 4 yards is 144 inches.
  • 36 × 5 = 180 180 degrees is half of a full turn. 180 fills 10 squares too, a tie for the most here.
  • 36 × 6 = 216 Multiply by 6, then by 6 again: 6 × 6 = 36, and 36 × 6 = 216.
  • 36 × 7 = 252 36 weeks of 7 days is 252 days.
  • 36 × 8 = 288 Two gross: double 144.
  • 36 × 9 = 324 9 forties are 360; take away 9 fours (36) and 324 is left. 324 is 18 × 18 as well.
  • 36 × 10 = 360 A full turn is 360 degrees.
