Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 4, 8, 2, 6, 0.
  • Every answer is even, because 144 is even.
  • The digits of every answer add up to a multiple of 9.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 144 × k = 140 × k + 4 × k.
  • Each answer is 144 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 144.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 144 times table is double the answer in the 72 times table: 72 × 6 = 432, so 144 × 6 = 864. To multiply 144 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 144 away: 1,440 − 144 = 1,296. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 144: 1,440 + 144 = 1,584. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 144 → 288 → 576.

Every multiple of 144 is at least 144, so there are none below 100 and 6 below 1,000. A number is in the 144 times table exactly when it divides by 144 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 144 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: 144 × 10 = 1,440, and 144 × 100 = 14,400. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 1,440 is 720.

Using the 144 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 144 × 7 = 1,008, you know 1,008 ÷ 144 = 7 and 1,008 ÷ 7 = 144. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 144 × 12?

1,728.

What is half of 144 × 8?

144 × 8 = 1,152, and half of that is 576, which is 144 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 144 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 144 contain nothing.

What is 144 × 7 and 144 × 8?

144 × 7 = 1,008 and 144 × 8 = 1,152. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 2,160 in the 144 times table?

Yes: 2,160 ÷ 144 = 15 with no remainder. 2,161 is not, because dividing it by 144 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 144 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.
