Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
- The digits of every answer add up to a multiple of 9.
- Each answer is 9 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 9.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 9 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 9 away: 90 − 9 = 81. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 9: 90 + 9 = 99. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 9 → 18 → 36.
There are 11 multiples of 9 below 100, and 111 below 1,000. A number is in the 9 times table exactly when it divides by 9 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 9 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 9 × 1 = 9 is odd, 9 × 2 = 18 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 9 × 10 = 90, and 9 × 100 = 900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 90 is 45.
Using the 9 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 9 × 7 = 63, you know 63 ÷ 9 = 7 and 63 ÷ 7 = 9. 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 9 pencils. How many pencils are in 3 boxes?
Answer
3 × 9 = 27 pencils. - Tickets cost $9 each. How much do 6 tickets cost?
Answer
6 × $9 = $54. - 81 chairs are set out in rows of 9. How many rows are there?
Answer
81 ÷ 9 = 9 rows. - A plant grows 9 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 8 weeks?
Answer
8 × 9 = 72 millimetres.
Questions
What is 9 × 12?
108.
What is half of 9 × 8?
9 × 8 = 72, and half of that is 36, which is 9 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 9 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 9 contain nothing.
What is 9 × 7 and 9 × 8?
9 × 7 = 63 and 9 × 8 = 72. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 135 in the 9 times table?
Yes: 135 ÷ 9 = 15 with no remainder. 136 is not, because dividing it by 9 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 9 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.
