Times Table Test

17 times table

Think of 17 as 10 + 7 and the 17 times table turns into two tables you already know: the 10s and the 7s. Learn it here with seven practice activities, tricks, worked examples and printable sheets.

The 17 times table

  • 17×1=17
  • 17×2=34
  • 17×3=51
  • 17×4=68
  • 17×5=85
  • 17×6=102
  • 17×7=119
  • 17×8=136
  • 17×9=153
  • 17×10=170
  • 17×11=187
  • 17×12=204
  • 17×13=221
  • 17×14=238
  • 17×15=255
  • 17×16=272
  • 17×17=289
  • 17×18=306
  • 17×19=323
  • 17×20=340

Split 17 into 10 and 7: work out the 10s and the 7s, then add them. Split 17 into 10 and 7. 10 × 7 = 70 and 7 × 7 = 49, so 17 × 7 = 70 + 49 = 119.

Tricks for the 17 times table

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

Split it: 10 + 7

Split 17 into 10 and 7: work out the 10s and the 7s, then add them.

17 × 7 = 70 + 49 = 119

Use the table before

Know the 16 times table? Add one more lot: 17 × 7 is 16 × 7 plus 7.

112 + 7 = 119

The last digits repeat

Look at the last digit of each answer from 17 × 1 to 17 × 10. The same pattern repeats for the next ten answers, so learn it once.

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

Turn it around

17 × 3 is the same as 3 × 17. If you know the 3 times table, you already know this fact, and the same goes for every table you have learned.

3 × 17 = 17 × 3 = 51

Count in 17s

Each answer is 17 more than the one before, so you can always count on from a fact you know.

17, 34, 51, 68, 85

The square fact

17 × 17 = 289 is a square number: 17 rows of 17 make a perfect square. Square facts are good anchors to work from.

17 × 17 = 289

Worked examples

How each answer is found, step by step.

17 × 6

Split 17 into 10 and 7. 10 × 6 = 60 and 7 × 6 = 42, so 17 × 6 = 60 + 42 = 102.

17 × 6 = 60 + 42 = 102

7 × 17

The order does not matter: 7 × 17 is the same as 17 × 7. Split 17 into 10 and 7. 10 × 7 = 70 and 7 × 7 = 49, so 17 × 7 = 70 + 49 = 119.

7 × 17 = 119

17 × 12

Split 17 into 10 and 7. 10 × 12 = 120 and 7 × 12 = 84, so 17 × 12 = 120 + 84 = 204.

17 × 12 = 120 + 84 = 204

17 × 17

Split 17 into 10 and 7. 10 × 17 = 170 and 7 × 17 = 119, so 17 × 17 = 170 + 119 = 289.

17 × 17 = 170 + 119 = 289

136 ÷ 17

Ask how many 17s make 136. You know 17 × 8 = 136, so the answer is 8.

136 ÷ 17 = 8

17 × ? = 238

Ask how many 17s make 238. Divide to find it: 238 ÷ 17 = 14.

17 × 14 = 238

What is the trick for the 17 times table?
Split 17 into 10 and 7: work out the 10s and the 7s, then add them. For example: 17 × 7 = 70 + 49 = 119.
What is 17 × 12?
17 × 12 = 204. One way to work it out: 17 × 12 = 120 + 84 = 204.
How can I learn the 17 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 17 times table within a week or two.
Which times table should I learn after the 17s?
A good next step is the 18 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 — 17 × 7 is also in the 7 times table.
