13 times table

Think of 13 as 10 + 3 and the 13 times table turns into two tables you already know: the 10s and the 3s. Learn it here with seven practice activities, tricks, worked examples and printable sheets.

The 13 times table

  • 13×1=13
  • 13×2=26
  • 13×3=39
  • 13×4=52
  • 13×5=65
  • 13×6=78
  • 13×7=91
  • 13×8=104
  • 13×9=117
  • 13×10=130
  • 13×11=143
  • 13×12=156
  • 13×13=169
  • 13×14=182
  • 13×15=195
  • 13×16=208
  • 13×17=221
  • 13×18=234
  • 13×19=247
  • 13×20=260

Split 13 into 10 and 3: work out the 10s and the 3s, then add them. Split 13 into 10 and 3. 10 × 7 = 70 and 3 × 7 = 21, so 13 × 7 = 70 + 21 = 91.

Tricks for the 13 times table

Pick the trick that clicks for you. Each one is a different way to the same answer.

Split it: 10 + 3

Split 13 into 10 and 3: work out the 10s and the 3s, then add them.

13 × 7 = 70 + 21 = 91

Use the table before

Know the 12 times table? Add one more lot: 13 × 7 is 12 × 7 plus 7.

84 + 7 = 91

The last digits repeat

Look at the last digit of each answer from 13 × 1 to 13 × 10. The same pattern repeats for the next ten answers, so learn it once.

3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0

Turn it around

13 × 3 is the same as 3 × 13. If you know the 3 times table, you already know this fact, and the same goes for every table you have learned.

3 × 13 = 13 × 3 = 39

Count in 13s

Each answer is 13 more than the one before, so you can always count on from a fact you know.

13, 26, 39, 52, 65

The square fact

13 × 13 = 169 is a square number: 13 rows of 13 make a perfect square. Square facts are good anchors to work from.

13 × 13 = 169

Worked examples

How each answer is found, step by step.

13 × 6

Split 13 into 10 and 3. 10 × 6 = 60 and 3 × 6 = 18, so 13 × 6 = 60 + 18 = 78.

13 × 6 = 60 + 18 = 78

7 × 13

The order does not matter: 7 × 13 is the same as 13 × 7. Split 13 into 10 and 3. 10 × 7 = 70 and 3 × 7 = 21, so 13 × 7 = 70 + 21 = 91.

7 × 13 = 91

13 × 12

Split 13 into 10 and 3. 10 × 12 = 120 and 3 × 12 = 36, so 13 × 12 = 120 + 36 = 156.

13 × 12 = 120 + 36 = 156

13 × 17

Split 13 into 10 and 3. 10 × 17 = 170 and 3 × 17 = 51, so 13 × 17 = 170 + 51 = 221.

13 × 17 = 170 + 51 = 221

104 ÷ 13

Ask how many 13s make 104. You know 13 × 8 = 104, so the answer is 8.

104 ÷ 13 = 8

13 × ? = 182

Ask how many 13s make 182. Divide to find it: 182 ÷ 13 = 14.

13 × 14 = 182
