Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 1: 0.
- Every answer is even, because 60 is even.
- Every answer ends in 0 or 5.
- Split it into tens and ones: 60 × k = 60 × k + 0 × k.
- Each answer is 60 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 60.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 60 times table is double the answer in the 30 times table: 30 × 6 = 180, so 60 × 6 = 360. To multiply 60 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 60 away: 600 − 60 = 540. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 60: 600 + 60 = 660. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 60 → 120 → 240.
There are 1 multiples of 60 below 100, and 16 below 1,000. A number is in the 60 times table exactly when it divides by 60 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 60 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: 60 × 10 = 600, and 60 × 100 = 6,000. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 600 is 300.
Using the 60 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 60 × 7 = 420, you know 420 ÷ 60 = 7 and 420 ÷ 7 = 60. 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:
- A box holds 60 pencils. How many pencils are in 6 boxes?
Answer
6 × 60 = 360 pencils. - Tickets cost $60 each. How much do 5 tickets cost?
Answer
5 × $60 = $300. - 300 chairs are set out in rows of 60. How many rows are there?
Answer
300 ÷ 60 = 5 rows. - A plant grows 60 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 7 weeks?
Answer
7 × 60 = 420 millimetres.
Questions
What is 60 × 12?
720.
What is half of 60 × 8?
60 × 8 = 480, and half of that is 240, which is 60 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 60 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 60 contain nothing.
What is 60 × 7 and 60 × 8?
60 × 7 = 420 and 60 × 8 = 480. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 900 in the 60 times table?
Yes: 900 ÷ 60 = 15 with no remainder. 901 is not, because dividing it by 60 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 60 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.
