Times Table Test

23 times table

Think of 23 as 20 + 3 and the 23 times table turns into two tables you already know: the 20s and the 3s. Learn it here with seven practice activities, tricks, worked examples and printable sheets.

The 23 times table

  • 23×1=23
  • 23×2=46
  • 23×3=69
  • 23×4=92
  • 23×5=115
  • 23×6=138
  • 23×7=161
  • 23×8=184
  • 23×9=207
  • 23×10=230
  • 23×11=253
  • 23×12=276
  • 23×13=299
  • 23×14=322
  • 23×15=345
  • 23×16=368
  • 23×17=391
  • 23×18=414
  • 23×19=437
  • 23×20=460

Split 23 into 20 and 3: work out the 20s and the 3s, then add them. Split 23 into 20 and 3. 20 × 7 = 140 and 3 × 7 = 21, so 23 × 7 = 140 + 21 = 161.

Tricks for the 23 times table

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

Split it: 20 + 3

Split 23 into 20 and 3: work out the 20s and the 3s, then add them.

23 × 7 = 140 + 21 = 161

Use the table before

Know the 22 times table? Add one more lot: 23 × 7 is 22 × 7 plus 7.

154 + 7 = 161

The last digits repeat

Look at the last digit of each answer from 23 × 1 to 23 × 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

23 × 3 is the same as 3 × 23. If you know the 3 times table, you already know this fact, and the same goes for every table you have learned.

3 × 23 = 23 × 3 = 69

Count in 23s

Each answer is 23 more than the one before, so you can always count on from a fact you know.

23, 46, 69, 92, 115

The square fact

23 × 23 = 529 is a square number: 23 rows of 23 make a perfect square. Square facts are good anchors to work from.

23 × 23 = 529

Worked examples

How each answer is found, step by step.

23 × 6

Split 23 into 20 and 3. 20 × 6 = 120 and 3 × 6 = 18, so 23 × 6 = 120 + 18 = 138.

23 × 6 = 120 + 18 = 138

7 × 23

The order does not matter: 7 × 23 is the same as 23 × 7. Split 23 into 20 and 3. 20 × 7 = 140 and 3 × 7 = 21, so 23 × 7 = 140 + 21 = 161.

7 × 23 = 161

23 × 12

Split 23 into 20 and 3. 20 × 12 = 240 and 3 × 12 = 36, so 23 × 12 = 240 + 36 = 276.

23 × 12 = 240 + 36 = 276

23 × 17

Split 23 into 20 and 3. 20 × 17 = 340 and 3 × 17 = 51, so 23 × 17 = 340 + 51 = 391.

23 × 17 = 340 + 51 = 391

184 ÷ 23

Ask how many 23s make 184. You know 23 × 8 = 184, so the answer is 8.

184 ÷ 23 = 8

23 × ? = 322

Ask how many 23s make 322. Divide to find it: 322 ÷ 23 = 14.

23 × 14 = 322

1. What is 23 × 8?
184. Eight lots of 23.
2. What number times 23 makes 115?
5. 115 ÷ 23 = 5.
3. Is 23 × 11 = 254?
No, it is 253. 23 × 10 = 230 is a good place to start, then add one more 23.
4. How many 23s are there in 207?
9. 9 × 23 = 207.
5. What is 23 × 0?

What is the trick for the 23 times table?
Split 23 into 20 and 3: work out the 20s and the 3s, then add them. For example: 23 × 7 = 140 + 21 = 161.
What is 23 × 12?
23 × 12 = 276. One way to work it out: 23 × 12 = 240 + 36 = 276.
How can I learn the 23 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 23 times table within a week or two.
Which times table should I learn after the 23s?
A good next step is the 24 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 — 23 × 7 is also in the 7 times table.
