If we want to find 9 × 5, then we can first find 8 × 5 and then add 5 to this answer.īelow is the complete 5 times table list. Here is the complete 5 times table chart being filled in by adding 5 to the even multiples.įor example, if 2 × 5 = 10, then we can easily find 3 × 5 by adding 5 more on to this result. We can then find all of the rest of the 5 times table by adding 5 on to the numbers that we already know. The even multiples of 5 are the easiest numbers to learn in the 5 times table. Half of 8 is 4 and then putting a zero after 4 gives the answer of 40.Īgain, we can multiply 8 by 10 first and then halve it. Again 8 is even so we can use our 5 times table trick. We would get this result if we first multiplied by 10 and then halved the answer afterwards. We halve 6 to get 3 and then put a zero after 3 to get 30. Again 6 is an even number and so we can use our 5 times table trick. This is the same result we would get if we multiplied by 10 first and then halved our number. We then put a zero digit on the end of 2 to make 20. The trick for learning the 5 times table is to half the even numbers and then put a zero after them.įor example here is the multiplication of 4 × 5.Ĥ is an even number, so we can halve it to get 2. We can fill in the 5 times table chart below with the even multiples of 5.

It is easier to halve the number first and then multiply it by ten. To multiply any whole number by ten, we can simply write a zero after it. This trick works because multiplying by 5 is the same as multiplying by ten and then halving the result. We can simply add 5 to these answers to find any odd numbers multiplied by 5. To learn the 5 times table, first notice the repeating pattern of each number ending in 5 and then 0.Įven numbers can be easily multiplied by 5 by halving them and then writing a zero after them.

We can see that each number in the 5 times table can be made by adding 5 to the previous number in the 5 times table. Here is the 5 times table chart displaying the full 5 times table. The 5 times table is formed by counting up in fives:
