How to learn the 5 times table
Fives and zeros
Multiply 5 by an odd number and the answer ends in 5. Multiply it by an even number and the answer ends in 0. So 5 × 7 = 35 ends in 5 and 5 × 8 = 40 ends in 0. If an answer ends in anything else, it is not in the 5 times table.
Half of ten times
Five is half of ten, so multiply by 10 and halve. For 5 × 8, take 80 and halve it to get 40. For 5 × 7, take 70 and halve it to get 35. This is the quickest route for larger numbers: 5 × 46 is half of 460, which is 230.
You read this table every day
A clock face is the 5 times table. When the minute hand points at the 4 it is 20 minutes past; at the 7 it is 35; at the 11 it is 55. Coins and notes come in fives too, which helps explain why this is a table many adults still know well.
Facts worth a second look
- 5 × 7 = 35Half of 70. On a clock, the 7 means 35 minutes.
- 5 × 9 = 45Half of 90. Or 50, minus one 5.
- 5 × 12 = 60Half of 120: once round the clock, 60 minutes.

Questions about the 5 times table
How do you multiply any number by 5 quickly?
Multiply it by 10, then halve the result. 5 × 64 is half of 640, which is 320.
Why do multiples of 5 end in 5 or 0?
Two fives make ten, so every pair of fives adds a whole ten and leaves the ones digit at 0. An odd number of fives leaves one five over, so the answer ends in 5.
