How to learn the 4 times table
Double-double
4 × 7 looks harder than it is. Double 7 is 14, and double 14 is 28. Any number can be multiplied by 4 this way, including ones far off the chart: for 4 × 35, double once to get 70 and again to get 140.
Last digits: 4, 8, 2, 6, 0
The answers end in 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and then repeat, so every answer is even. 4 × 6 = 24 and 4 × 11 = 44 both end in 4, because 6 and 11 are five steps apart and the cycle is five long.
Quarters, and a test for big numbers
Dividing by 4 is halving twice, which is how you find a quarter, or 25%. Half of 60 is 30 and half of 30 is 15, so 60 ÷ 4 = 15. To test whether a large number is a multiple of 4, look only at its last two digits: 716 is, because 16 is. 718 is not.
Facts worth a second look
- 4 × 6 = 24Double 6 is 12, double 12 is 24.
- 4 × 7 = 2814, then 28: the days in four weeks.
- 4 × 8 = 3216, then 32.
- 4 × 9 = 364 × 10 = 40, minus one 4.
- 4 × 12 = 4824, then 48.

Questions about the 4 times table
Why does doubling twice work for the 4 times table?
Because 4 is 2 × 2. Multiplying by 4 is multiplying by 2 and then by 2 again, so 4 × 9 is double 9, which is 18, doubled again to make 36.
What is 4 × 25?
100. Four quarters make a whole, which is why 25 is so easy to multiply by 4: 4 × 25 = 100 and 8 × 25 = 200.
