Learning Tricks for the 13 Times Table
🎯 The 3 Times Table Trick
The easiest way to remember the 13 times table is using the 3 times table pattern:
Step 1: Write the 3 times table
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30
Step 2: Add the multiplier before each digit
| Multiplier | 3× Result | Pattern | 13× Result |
| 1 | 3 | 1, 3 | 13 |
| 2 | 6 | 2, 6 | 26 |
| 3 | 9 | 3, 9 | 39 |
| 4 | 12 | 4 + 1, 2 | 52 |
| 5 | 15 | 5 + 1, 5 | 65 |
Rule: When the 3× result is 2-digits, add the tens digit to the multiplier!
➕ The Addition Method
Simply add 13 to the previous result:
- 13 × 1 = 13
- 13 × 2 = 13 + 13 = 26
- 13 × 3 = 26 + 13 = 39
- 13 × 4 = 39 + 13 = 52
- And so on...
✖️ The 10 + 3 Method
Break 13 into 10 + 3:
Example: 13 × 7
= (10 × 7) + (3 × 7)
= 70 + 21
= 91
Comparison: 12 and 13 Times Tables
| Multiplier (n) | 12 × n | 13 × n | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 12 | 13 | +1 |
| 2 | 24 | 26 | +2 |
| 3 | 36 | 39 | +3 |
| 4 | 48 | 52 | +4 |
| 5 | 60 | 65 | +5 |
| 6 | 72 | 78 | +6 |
| 7 | 84 | 91 | +7 |
| 8 | 96 | 104 | +8 |
| 9 | 108 | 117 | +9 |
| 10 | 120 | 130 | +10 |
| 11 | 132 | 143 | +11 |
| 12 | 144 | 156 | +12 |
Pattern Discovery:
Notice that 13 × n is always n more than 12 × n!
This means if you know 12 × 7 = 84, then 13 × 7 = 84 + 7 = 91

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 13 times table?
The 13 times table is an extended multiplication table showing the products of 13 multiplied by numbers 1-12 (and beyond). It includes: 13×1=13, 13×2=26, 13×3=39, 13×4=52, 13×5=65, 13×6=78, 13×7=91, 13×8=104, 13×9=117, 13×10=130, 13×11=143, 13×12=156.
How do you learn the 13 times table quickly?
The fastest way to learn the 13 times table is using the 3 times table trick: write the 3 times table (3, 6, 9, 12...), then place the multiplier before each result. For 13×4: the 3 times table gives 12, so write 4 before it but add the tens digit to get 4+1=5, making the answer 52. Alternatively, use 13×n = 12×n + n.
What is the relationship between 12 and 13 times tables?
The 12 and 13 times table relationship is simple: 13×n is always n more than 12×n. For example, 12×7=84, so 13×7=84+7=91. This pattern works for all multipliers and provides an easy way to calculate 13 times facts if you know the 12 times table.
How do I use the 13 times table chart?
A 13 times table chart lists all products of 13 from 13×1 to 13×12 (or higher). To use it: find your multiplier (1-12) in the left column, then read across to find the answer. For reference, keep the chart visible while studying or solving problems involving multiples of 13.
What is 13 times table up to 12?
The 13 times table up to 12 includes: 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91, 104, 117, 130, 143, and 156. These are the products of 13 multiplied by 1 through 12, forming the standard range taught for extended multiplication tables.
Why should I learn times tables 13 to 20?
Learning 13 to 20 times tables provides: faster mental math, preparation for algebra, competitive exam advantage, improved number sense, and confidence in advanced calculations. While not required in basic curricula, these extended tables significantly boost mathematical ability and problem-solving speed.
What's the easiest way to memorize the 13 times table?
The easiest method is skip counting: start at 13 and add 13 repeatedly (13, 26, 39, 52, 65...). Practice daily for 5-10 minutes. Alternatively, use the 10+3 method: multiply by 10, multiply by 3, then add both results. For 13×6: (10×6)+(3×6)=60+18=78.
Are there patterns in the 13 times table?
Yes! The 13 times table has patterns: (1) the last digit repeats every 10 multiples (13, 26, 39...113, 126, 139), (2) each result is 13 more than the previous, (3) the 3 times table pattern appears in the ones digits, and (4) alternating odd/even pattern (odd, even, odd, even...).
How long does it take to learn the 13 times table?
With focused practice, most students can learn the 13 times table in 1-2 weeks with 10-15 minutes of daily practice. Those who already know tables 1-12 can learn it faster by using the relationship that 13×n = 12×n + n. Consistent practice and using tricks accelerates memorization.
Do I need to know the 13 times table for school?
Standard curricula typically require only tables 1-12, but learning the 13 times table is beneficial for: advanced math courses, competitive exams, mental math skills, and real-world calculations. It's especially useful for students pursuing STEM subjects or preparing for standardized tests.
Tips for Mastering Extended Times Tables
Proven Learning Strategies:
- Master basics first: Ensure you know tables 1-12 before tackling 13-20
- Use relationships: 13×n = 12×n + n (add the multiplier to 12 times result)
- Practice skip counting: Count by 13s regularly (13, 26, 39, 52...)
- Break it down: Use 13 = 10 + 3 method for easier calculation
- Daily practice: 10-15 minutes daily beats occasional long sessions
- Mix with review: Practice 13× alongside familiar tables for retention
- Test yourself: Use quizzes and speed tests to build automaticity
