Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 8, 6, 4, 2, 0.
  • Every answer is even, because 48 is even.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 48 × k = 40 × k + 8 × k.
  • Each answer is 48 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 48.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 48 times table is double the answer in the 24 times table: 24 × 6 = 144, so 48 × 6 = 288. To multiply 48 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 48 away: 480 − 48 = 432. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 48: 480 + 48 = 528. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 48 → 96 → 192.

There are 2 multiples of 48 below 100, and 20 below 1,000. A number is in the 48 times table exactly when it divides by 48 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 48 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: 48 × 10 = 480, and 48 × 100 = 4,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 480 is 240.

Using the 48 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 48 × 7 = 336, you know 336 ÷ 48 = 7 and 336 ÷ 7 = 48. 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:

    Answer5 × 48 = 240 pencils.
  2. Tickets cost $48 each. How much do 8 tickets cost?
    Answer8 × $48 = $384.
  3. 192 chairs are set out in rows of 48. How many rows are there?
    Answer192 ÷ 48 = 4 rows.
  4. A plant grows 48 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 11 weeks?

Questions

What is 48 × 12?

576.

What is half of 48 × 8?

48 × 8 = 384, and half of that is 192, which is 48 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 48 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 48 contain nothing.

What is 48 × 7 and 48 × 8?

48 × 7 = 336 and 48 × 8 = 384. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 720 in the 48 times table?

Yes: 720 ÷ 48 = 15 with no remainder. 721 is not, because dividing it by 48 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 48 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.
