Tricks for the 24 times table

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

Double the 12s

24 is double 12, so work out the 12s answer and double it.

24 × 7 = 2 × 84 = 168

Use the table before

Know the 23 times table? Add one more lot: 24 × 7 is 23 × 7 plus 7.

161 + 7 = 168

Every answer is even

Every answer in the 24 times table is an even number, so it ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8. An odd answer is always a mistake.

24, 48, 72, 96, 120

The last digits repeat

Look at the last digit of each answer from 24 × 1 to 24 × 10. The same pattern repeats for the next ten answers, so learn it once.

4, 8, 2, 6, 0, 4, 8, 2, 6, 0

Turn it around

24 × 3 is the same as 3 × 24. If you know the 3 times table, you already know this fact, and the same goes for every table you have learned.

3 × 24 = 24 × 3 = 72

Count in 24s

Each answer is 24 more than the one before, so you can always count on from a fact you know.

24, 48, 72, 96, 120

Worked examples

How each answer is found, step by step.

24 × 6

Work out 12 × 6 = 72, then double it: 72 + 72 = 144.

24 × 6 = 2 × 72 = 144

7 × 24

The order does not matter: 7 × 24 is the same as 24 × 7. Work out 12 × 7 = 84, then double it: 84 + 84 = 168.

7 × 24 = 168

24 × 12

Work out 12 × 12 = 144, then double it: 144 + 144 = 288.

24 × 12 = 2 × 144 = 288

24 × 17

Work out 12 × 17 = 204, then double it: 204 + 204 = 408.

24 × 17 = 2 × 204 = 408

192 ÷ 24

Ask how many 24s make 192. You know 24 × 8 = 192, so the answer is 8.

192 ÷ 24 = 8

24 × ? = 336

Ask how many 24s make 336. Divide to find it: 336 ÷ 24 = 14.

24 × 14 = 336
