The 2 times table
The 2 times table lists 2 × 1 up to 2 × 12. Below you will find the full chart, the quickest way to learn it, the few facts that are really new, and free practice.
The full 2 times table
- 2 × 1 = 2
- 2 × 2 = 4
- 2 × 3 = 6
- 2 × 4 = 8
- 2 × 5 = 10
- 2 × 6 = 12
- 2 × 7 = 14
- 2 × 8 = 16
- 2 × 9 = 18
- 2 × 10 = 20
- 2 × 11 = 22
- 2 × 12 = 24
The easiest way to learn the 2 times table
Multiplying by 2 is doubling: 2 × 8 = 8 + 8 = 16.
Every answer is even, so it always ends in 2, 4, 6, 8 or 0.
Which facts are really new?
The 2 times table is pure doubling, which is why it is the place to start: every other table leans on it.
The pattern in the last digits
The last digits of 2 × 1 up to 2 × 10 are 2, 4, 6, 8, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 0. Then the pattern starts again.
