29 times table

29 is just 1 less than 30, so every answer in the 29 times table is the 30s answer minus a little. Learn it here with seven practice activities, tricks, worked examples and printable sheets.

The 29 times table

  • 29×1=29
  • 29×2=58
  • 29×3=87
  • 29×4=116
  • 29×5=145
  • 29×6=174
  • 29×7=203
  • 29×8=232
  • 29×9=261
  • 29×10=290
  • 29×11=319
  • 29×12=348
  • 29×13=377
  • 29×14=406
  • 29×15=435
  • 29×16=464
  • 29×17=493
  • 29×18=522
  • 29×19=551
  • 29×20=580

29 is 1 less than 30, so work out the 30s answer and take away 1 lots. Round 29 up to 30: 30 × 7 = 210. Then take away 1 × 7 = 7, so 29 × 7 = 210 − 7 = 203.

Tricks for the 29 times table

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

Round up to 30

29 is 1 less than 30, so work out the 30s answer and take away 1 lots.

29 × 7 = 210 − 7 = 203

Use the table before

Know the 28 times table? Add one more lot: 29 × 7 is 28 × 7 plus 7.

196 + 7 = 203

The last digits repeat

Look at the last digit of each answer from 29 × 1 to 29 × 10. The same pattern repeats for the next ten answers, so learn it once.

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

Turn it around

29 × 3 is the same as 3 × 29. If you know the 3 times table, you already know this fact, and the same goes for every table you have learned.

3 × 29 = 29 × 3 = 87

Count in 29s

Each answer is 29 more than the one before, so you can always count on from a fact you know.

29, 58, 87, 116, 145

The square fact

29 × 29 = 841 is a square number: 29 rows of 29 make a perfect square. Square facts are good anchors to work from.

29 × 29 = 841

Worked examples

How each answer is found, step by step.

29 × 6

Round 29 up to 30: 30 × 6 = 180. Then take away 1 × 6 = 6, so 29 × 6 = 180 − 6 = 174.

29 × 6 = 180 − 6 = 174

7 × 29

The order does not matter: 7 × 29 is the same as 29 × 7. Round 29 up to 30: 30 × 7 = 210. Then take away 1 × 7 = 7, so 29 × 7 = 210 − 7 = 203.

7 × 29 = 203

29 × 12

Round 29 up to 30: 30 × 12 = 360. Then take away 1 × 12 = 12, so 29 × 12 = 360 − 12 = 348.

29 × 12 = 360 − 12 = 348

29 × 17

Round 29 up to 30: 30 × 17 = 510. Then take away 1 × 17 = 17, so 29 × 17 = 510 − 17 = 493.

29 × 17 = 510 − 17 = 493

232 ÷ 29

Ask how many 29s make 232. You know 29 × 8 = 232, so the answer is 8.

232 ÷ 29 = 8

29 × ? = 406

Ask how many 29s make 406. Divide to find it: 406 ÷ 29 = 14.

29 × 14 = 406
