Times Table Test

15 times table

The 15 times table is the 10s plus half again: 15 × 6 is 60 + 30 = 90. It also tells the time, because 15 minutes is a quarter of an hour. Learn it here with seven practice activities, tricks, worked examples and printable sheets.

The 15 times table

  • 15×1=15
  • 15×2=30
  • 15×3=45
  • 15×4=60
  • 15×5=75
  • 15×6=90
  • 15×7=105
  • 15×8=120
  • 15×9=135
  • 15×10=150
  • 15×11=165
  • 15×12=180
  • 15×13=195
  • 15×14=210
  • 15×15=225
  • 15×16=240
  • 15×17=255
  • 15×18=270
  • 15×19=285
  • 15×20=300

Split 15 into 10 and 5: work out the 10s and the 5s, then add them. Split 15 into 10 and 5. 10 × 7 = 70 and 5 × 7 = 35, so 15 × 7 = 70 + 35 = 105.

Tricks for the 15 times table

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

10s plus half

Work out the 10s answer, then add half of it again.

15 × 6 = 60 + 30 = 90

Split it: 10 + 5

Split 15 into 10 and 5: work out the 10s and the 5s, then add them.

15 × 7 = 70 + 35 = 105

Use the table before

Know the 14 times table? Add one more lot: 15 × 7 is 14 × 7 plus 7.

98 + 7 = 105

Turn it around

15 × 3 is the same as 3 × 15. If you know the 3 times table, you already know this fact, and the same goes for every table you have learned.

3 × 15 = 15 × 3 = 45

Count in 15s

Each answer is 15 more than the one before, so you can always count on from a fact you know.

15, 30, 45, 60, 75

The square fact

15 × 15 = 225 is a square number: 15 rows of 15 make a perfect square. Square facts are good anchors to work from.

15 × 15 = 225

Worked examples

How each answer is found, step by step.

15 × 6

Split 15 into 10 and 5. 10 × 6 = 60 and 5 × 6 = 30, so 15 × 6 = 60 + 30 = 90.

15 × 6 = 60 + 30 = 90

7 × 15

The order does not matter: 7 × 15 is the same as 15 × 7. Split 15 into 10 and 5. 10 × 7 = 70 and 5 × 7 = 35, so 15 × 7 = 70 + 35 = 105.

7 × 15 = 105

15 × 12

Split 15 into 10 and 5. 10 × 12 = 120 and 5 × 12 = 60, so 15 × 12 = 120 + 60 = 180.

15 × 12 = 120 + 60 = 180

15 × 17

Split 15 into 10 and 5. 10 × 17 = 170 and 5 × 17 = 85, so 15 × 17 = 170 + 85 = 255.

15 × 17 = 170 + 85 = 255

120 ÷ 15

Ask how many 15s make 120. You know 15 × 8 = 120, so the answer is 8.

120 ÷ 15 = 8

15 × ? = 210

Ask how many 15s make 210. Divide to find it: 210 ÷ 15 = 14.

15 × 14 = 210

Test yourself: 10 questions with answers

Say each answer out loud before you open it. If you get all ten, try the 60-second test above.

1. What is 15 × 8?
120. Eight lots of 15.
2. What number times 15 makes 75?
5. 75 ÷ 15 = 5.
3. Is 15 × 11 = 166?
No, it is 165. 15 × 10 = 150 is a good place to start, then add one more 15.
4. How many 15s are there in 135?
9. 9 × 15 = 135.
5. What is 15 × 0?
0. No groups of 15 is nothing at all.

225. Ten lots of 15 plus five lots of 15.
7. What is 195 ÷ 15?
13. 15 × 13 = 195.
8. Which is bigger: 15 × 9 or 9 × 16?
9 × 16 = 144. It is bigger than 15 × 9 = 135 by exactly 9.
9. What comes next: 90, 105, 120, …?
135. Counting in 15s, each step adds 15.
10. If 15 × k = 240, what is k?

What is the trick for the 15 times table?
Split 15 into 10 and 5: work out the 10s and the 5s, then add them. For example: 15 × 7 = 70 + 35 = 105.
What is 15 × 12?
15 × 12 = 180. One way to work it out: 15 × 12 = 120 + 60 = 180.
How can I learn the 15 times table fast?
Learn the pattern first, then practise a little every day. Work through the seven activities on this page in order: fill in the table, shuffle it, match the answers, then race the clock. Five minutes a day is enough for most children to know the 15 times table within a week or two.
Which times table should I learn after the 15s?
A good next step is the 16 times table. Each new table borrows facts you already know, so it gets easier every time.

Learn the other times tables

Every fact you learn here turns up in another table too — 15 × 7 is also in the 7 times table.
