Multiplication tables are the fundamental building blocks for many subjects that students learn in higher-level classrooms, such as division, fractions, and long multiplication.
One of math’s most popular multiplication tables is the 5 times table. The final digit in a 5 times multiplication table will always be a zero (0) or a five (5).
Children who can multiply by five are better equipped to complete multiplication problems more quickly. Learning the 5 times table encourages a better comprehension of numbers and number relationships. These skills are necessary for confidently understanding complex mathematical topics.

Age group when 5 times multiplication table are typically taught
Multiplication tables are taught to learners aged 6 to 8 years old or 2nd or 3rd grades (USA).
Children are usually taught the 2, 5, and 10 times tables initially because they have patterns that make learning them easier. Children who have mastered these times tables will benefit from having a head start on learning more challenging ones.
By entering the first phase of primary school, learners should be familiar with the five times table. Children will have no trouble learning the five times table once they have mastered the lower multiplication tables.
To solve problems involving multiplication, division, and other mathematical operations, you must have a multiplication table of 5 digits. Knowing the five times table makes it easier for us to read and comprehend the time.

It is really simple to multiply by 5. No matter what number you multiply 5 by, you will always get a result with 0 or 5 at the end.
The following are some examples of numbers that, when multiplied by 5, result in products with final digits that are 0.
5 × 2 = 10 5 × 4 = 20 5 × 6 = 30 5 × 8 = 40 5 × 10 = 50
The following are examples of numbers that, when multiplied by 5, result in products with final digits that are 5.
5 × 1 = 5 5 × 3 = 15 5 × 5 = 25 5 × 7 = 35 5 × 9 = 45
( b ) If you multiply 5 by an odd number, the result will always end in 5. Also, the result of multiplying 5 by an even number is zero.
The table below explains this property of the 5 times table. The first column has final digits ending in zero, while the second has the last digits ending in 5.
| Multiplying 5 by an EVEN number | Multiplying 5 by an ODD number |
| 5 × 2 = 10 | 5 × 1 = 5 |
| 5 × 4 = 20 | 5 × 3 = 15 |
