Think of 26 as 20 + 6 and the 26 times table turns into two tables you already know: the 20s and the 6s. Learn it here with seven practice activities, tricks, worked examples and printable sheets.

The 26 times table

  • 26×1=26
  • 26×2=52
  • 26×3=78
  • 26×4=104
  • 26×5=130
  • 26×6=156
  • 26×7=182
  • 26×8=208
  • 26×9=234
  • 26×10=260
  • 26×11=286
  • 26×12=312
  • 26×13=338
  • 26×14=364
  • 26×15=390
  • 26×16=416
  • 26×17=442
  • 26×18=468
  • 26×19=494
  • 26×20=520

Split 26 into 20 and 6: work out the 20s and the 6s, then add them. Split 26 into 20 and 6. 20 × 7 = 140 and 6 × 7 = 42, so 26 × 7 = 140 + 42 = 182.

Tricks for the 26 times table

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

Split it: 20 + 6

Split 26 into 20 and 6: work out the 20s and the 6s, then add them.

26 × 7 = 140 + 42 = 182

Double the 13s

26 is double 13, so work out the 13 times table answer and double it.

13 × 7 = 91, so 26 × 7 = 182

Use the table before

Know the 25 times table? Add one more lot: 26 × 7 is 25 × 7 plus 7.

175 + 7 = 182

Every answer is even

Every answer in the 26 times table is an even number, so it ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8. An odd answer is always a mistake.

26, 52, 78, 104, 130

The last digits repeat

Look at the last digit of each answer from 26 × 1 to 26 × 10. The same pattern repeats for the next ten answers, so learn it once.

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

Turn it around

26 × 3 is the same as 3 × 26. If you know the 3 times table, you already know this fact, and the same goes for every table you have learned.

3 × 26 = 26 × 3 = 78

Worked examples

How each answer is found, step by step.

26 × 6

Split 26 into 20 and 6. 20 × 6 = 120 and 6 × 6 = 36, so 26 × 6 = 120 + 36 = 156.

26 × 6 = 120 + 36 = 156

7 × 26

The order does not matter: 7 × 26 is the same as 26 × 7. Split 26 into 20 and 6. 20 × 7 = 140 and 6 × 7 = 42, so 26 × 7 = 140 + 42 = 182.

7 × 26 = 182

26 × 12

Split 26 into 20 and 6. 20 × 12 = 240 and 6 × 12 = 72, so 26 × 12 = 240 + 72 = 312.

26 × 12 = 240 + 72 = 312

26 × 17

Split 26 into 20 and 6. 20 × 17 = 340 and 6 × 17 = 102, so 26 × 17 = 340 + 102 = 442.

26 × 17 = 340 + 102 = 442

208 ÷ 26

Ask how many 26s make 208. You know 26 × 8 = 208, so the answer is 8.

208 ÷ 26 = 8

26 × ? = 364

Ask how many 26s make 364. Divide to find it: 364 ÷ 26 = 14.

26 × 14 = 364
