The values obtained by multiplying six by various whole numbers are shown in Table 6. The multiplication table for 6 is the sum of the repeated additions of 6. As an illustration, 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 6 × 4 = 24. Once mastered, multiplication tables can become second nature to a student and a need in daily life.

Age group when 6 times multiplication table are typically taught
Multiplication tables are taught to learners aged 6 to 8 years old or 2nd or 3rd grades (USA).
Early arithmetic instruction for children should include learning the 6 times table. For multiplication calculations, it helps provide a solid mathematical basis. They have no trouble learning the tables up to 5, but they occasionally have difficulty memorizing the table of six.
Multiplying numbers by six is essential for solving fractional, decimal, and percentage problems. When students are outside of their classrooms, it helps them solve practical problems quickly and teaches them about the sequences and patterns that multiples of 6 follow.

Tips to Master 6 Times Multiplication Table
Children may be intimidated to learn the multiplication table for 6 because it is a large number. However, some straightforward strategies, patterns, and ideas make learning the multiplication table for 6 simple. Let us examine how to use the table of six properly so that you may grasp the multiplication of numbers by six.
( a ) When you multiply by 6, you keep adding the number 6.
Let us say, for example, that when we say 6 times 3 (6 × 3), the number 6 is added three times.
Hence, for more examples in the 6 times table we have,
6 × 2 = 6 + 6 = 12
6 × 3 = 6 + 6 + 6 = 18
6 × 4 = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24
6 × 5 = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 30
6 × 6 = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 36
6 × 7 = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 +6 = 42
6 × 8 = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 +6 + 6 = 48
6 × 9 = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 +6 + 6 + 6 = 54
6 × 10 = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 +6 + 6 + 6 + 6= 60
6 × 11 = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 +6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 66
6 × 12 = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 +6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 72
( b ) The products in the 6 times table end in the digits 6, 2, 8, 4, and 0.
The table below shows that the final digits have the same pattern of 6, 2, 8, 4, and 0.
6 × 1 = 6 | 6 × 6 = 66 | 6 × 11 = 66 | 6 × 16 = 96 | 6 × 21 = 126 | 6 × 26 = 156 |
6 × 2 = 12 | 6 × 7 = 42 | 6 × 12 = 72 | 6 × 17 = 102 | 6 × 22 = 132 | 6 × 27 = 162 |
6 × 3 = 18 | 6 × 8 = 48 | 6 × 13 = 78 | 6 × 18 = 108 | 6 × 23 = 138 | 6 × 28 = 168 |
6 × 4 = 24 | 6 × 9 = 54 | 6 × 14 = 84 | 6 × 19 = 114 | 6 × 24 = 144 | 6 × 29 = 174 |
6 × 5 = 30 | 6 × 10 = 60 | 6 × 15 = 90 | 6 × 20 = 120 | 6 × 25 = 150 | 6 × 30 = 180 |
( c ) Both multiples of 2 and multiples of 3 are multiples of 6, as well.
Let us use 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30 as examples. All these numbers are multiples of 2, 3, and 6. The table below shows that 2, 3, and 6 are factors of 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30
6 × 1 = 6 | 2 × 3 = 6 | 3 × 2 = 6 |
6 × 2 = 12 | 2 × 6 = 12 | 3 × 4 = 12 |
6 × 3 = 18 | 2 × 9 = 18 | 3 × 6 = 18 |
6 × 4 = 24 | 2 × 12 = 24 | 3 × 8 = 24 |
6 × 5 = 30 | 2 × 15 = 30 | 3 × 10 = 30 |
( d ) If you multiply an even number by 6, the last digit stays the same.
Let us have the following as examples,
6 × 2 = 12 6 × 4 = 24 6 × 6 = 36 6 × 8 = 48
When 6 is multiplied by 2, the product is 12, and the final digit is 2.
When 6 is multiplied by 4, the product is 24, and the final digit is 4.
When 6 is multiplied by 6, the product is 36, and the final digit is 6.
When 6 is multiplied by 8, the product is 48, and the final digit is 8.
Therefore, the product of multiplying 6 by 12, 14, 16, or 18 will have a final digit that ends in 2, 4, 6, or 8, respectively.
( e ) The 6 times table is double that of the 3.
Since six equals two times three, children may learn how to multiply by 6 using the 3 times table.
The table below shows the 6 times multiplication table by doubling the answer in the 3 times multiplication table.
3 Times Table | Doubling 3 Times Table | 6 Times Table |
3 × 1 = 3 | 3 + 3 = 6 | 6 × 1 = 6 |
3 × 2 = 6 | 6 + 6 = 12 | 6 × 2 = 12 |
3 × 3 = 9 | 9 + 9 = 18 | 6 × 3 = 18 |
3 × 4 = 12 | 12 + 12 = 24 | 6 × 4 = 24 |
3 × 5 = 15 | 15 + 15 = 30 | 6 × 5 = 30 |
3 × 6 = 18 | 18 + 18 = 36 | 6 × 6 = 26 |
3 × 7 = 21 | 21 + 21 = 42 | 6 × 7 = 42 |
3 × 8 = 24 | 24 + 24 = 48 | 6 × 8 = 48 |
3 × 9 = 27 | 27 + 27 = 54 | 6 × 9 = 54 |
3 × 10 = 30 | 30 + 30 = 60 | 6 × 10 = 60 |
( f ) Learn 6 times multiplication table using 5 times multiplication table.
One of the simplest multiplication tables to learn and comprehend is the 5 times table. The six times table can be learned using it as well.
Let us say, for example, that when 6 is multiplied by 4, we will use 5 × 4 = 20, then add 4. Hence, we have 20 + 4 = 24.
As another example, in 6 × 7, we will have 5 × 7 = 35, then add 7. Hence, we have 35 + 7 = 42.
