Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 1: 0.
  • Every answer is even, because 120 is even.
  • Every answer ends in 0 or 5.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 120 × k = 120 × k + 0 × k.
  • Each answer is 120 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 120.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 120 times table is double the answer in the 60 times table: 60 × 6 = 360, so 120 × 6 = 720. To multiply 120 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 120 away: 1,200 − 120 = 1,080. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 120: 1,200 + 120 = 1,320. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 120 → 240 → 480.

Every multiple of 120 is at least 120, so there are none below 100 and 8 below 1,000. A number is in the 120 times table exactly when it divides by 120 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 120 is even, every answer in its table is even, which is a quick way to catch a wrong answer. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 120 × 10 = 1,200, and 120 × 100 = 12,000. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 1,200 is 600.

Using the 120 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 120 × 7 = 840, you know 840 ÷ 120 = 7 and 840 ÷ 7 = 120. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Word problems

Times tables are most useful when you can spot them in a question. Try these, then open each one to check:

  1. A box holds 120 pencils. How many pencils are in 9 boxes?
    Answer9 × 120 = 1,080 pencils.
  2. Tickets cost $120 each. How much do 6 tickets cost?
    Answer6 × $120 = $720.
  3. 1,080 chairs are set out in rows of 120. How many rows are there?
    Answer1,080 ÷ 120 = 9 rows.
  4. A plant grows 120 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 7 weeks?
    Answer7 × 120 = 840 millimetres.

Questions

What is 120 × 12?

1,440.

What is half of 120 × 8?

120 × 8 = 960, and half of that is 480, which is 120 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 120 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 120 contain nothing.

What is 120 × 7 and 120 × 8?

120 × 7 = 840 and 120 × 8 = 960. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 1,800 in the 120 times table?

Yes: 1,800 ÷ 120 = 15 with no remainder. 1,801 is not, because dividing it by 120 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 120 times table quickly?

Learn it in order first, then use the patterns above and practise mixed questions; a few minutes a day works better than one long session.
