  • 28×2=56
  • 28×3=84
  • 28×4=112
  • 28×5=140
  • 28×6=168
  • 28×7=196

28 is 2 less than 30, so work out the 30s answer and take away 2 lots. Round 28 up to 30: 30 × 7 = 210. Then take away 2 × 7 = 14, so 28 × 7 = 210 − 14 = 196.

Tricks for the 28 times table

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

Round up to 30

28 is 2 less than 30, so work out the 30s answer and take away 2 lots.

28 × 7 = 210 − 14 = 196

Double the 14s

28 is double 14, so work out the 14 times table answer and double it.

14 × 7 = 98, so 28 × 7 = 196

Use the table before

Know the 27 times table? Add one more lot: 28 × 7 is 27 × 7 plus 7.

189 + 7 = 196

Every answer is even

Every answer in the 28 times table is an even number, so it ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8. An odd answer is always a mistake.

28, 56, 84, 112, 140

The last digits repeat

Look at the last digit of each answer from 28 × 1 to 28 × 10. The same pattern repeats for the next ten answers, so learn it once.

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

Turn it around

28 × 3 is the same as 3 × 28. If you know the 3 times table, you already know this fact, and the same goes for every table you have learned.

3 × 28 = 28 × 3 = 84

Worked examples

How each answer is found, step by step.

28 × 6

Round 28 up to 30: 30 × 6 = 180. Then take away 2 × 6 = 12, so 28 × 6 = 180 − 12 = 168.

28 × 6 = 180 − 12 = 168

7 × 28

The order does not matter: 7 × 28 is the same as 28 × 7. Round 28 up to 30: 30 × 7 = 210. Then take away 2 × 7 = 14, so 28 × 7 = 210 − 14 = 196.

7 × 28 = 196

28 × 12

Round 28 up to 30: 30 × 12 = 360. Then take away 2 × 12 = 24, so 28 × 12 = 360 − 24 = 336.

28 × 12 = 360 − 24 = 336

28 × 17

Round 28 up to 30: 30 × 17 = 510. Then take away 2 × 17 = 34, so 28 × 17 = 510 − 34 = 476.

28 × 17 = 510 − 34 = 476

224 ÷ 28

Ask how many 28s make 224. You know 28 × 8 = 224, so the answer is 8.

224 ÷ 28 = 8

28 × ? = 392

Ask how many 28s make 392. Divide to find it: 392 ÷ 28 = 14.

28 × 14 = 392
