Understanding the 13 Times Table
The 13 times table is an extended multiplication table that goes beyond the standard 1-12 times tables taught in primary school. Learning the 13 times table helps build advanced multiplication skills and is particularly useful for mental math, quick calculations, and preparing for higher-level mathematics. While not typically required in basic curricula, mastering tables 13 to 20 gives students a significant mathematical advantage.
Why Learn the 13 Times Table?
- Advanced math preparation: Essential for algebra and higher mathematics
- Mental calculation: Solve problems faster without calculator
- Competitive advantage: Useful for math competitions and exams
- Real-world applications: Measurements, conversions, calculations
- Pattern recognition: Understanding mathematical relationships
- Confidence building: Mastery of extended tables builds math confidence

Learning Tricks for the 13 Times Table
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!
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...
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

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
- Apply practically: Use 13× in real calculations and problem-solving
