The 14 times table
Also written as the multiplication table of 14. Here it is in full to 14 x 20, with the patterns worth pointing out, the fact children trip on, and free practice that does not need a sign-up.
14 x 1 to 14 x 12
| 14 × 1 | 14 |
|---|---|
| 14 × 2 | 28 |
| 14 × 3 | 42 |
| 14 × 4 | 56 |
| 14 × 5 | 70 |
| 14 × 6 | 84 |
| 14 × 7 | 98 |
| 14 × 8 | 112 |
| 14 × 9 | 126 |
| 14 × 10 | 140 |
| 14 × 11 | 154 |
| 14 × 12 | 168 |
14 x 13 to 14 x 20
| 14 × 13 | 182 |
|---|---|
| 14 × 14 | 196 |
| 14 × 15 | 210 |
| 14 × 16 | 224 |
| 14 × 17 | 238 |
| 14 × 18 | 252 |
| 14 × 19 | 266 |
| 14 × 20 | 280 |
Schools usually require up to twelve. The rest is here for children who want it, and it is where mental arithmetic starts to pay off.
Worth pointing out
Patterns in the 14 times table
- Take any seven times answer, double it, and you have the fourteen.
- Every answer is even, since fourteen is even.
The easiest way to learn it
Double the sevens. For 14 x 6, seven sixes are 42, and doubling gives 84. Alternatively split into tens and fours: 60 plus 24 is also 84.
The fact children get wrong
14 x 7 is 98. Two of the hardest numbers in primary maths meet here, so it is worth doing it the slow way rather than guessing.
On the abacus
Because the sevens are already handled place by place on a soroban, the fourteens cost a student almost nothing extra.
Charts build familiarity. Recall comes from retrieval, a few minutes a day. Print the times tables sprint, or try the free virtual abacus where multiplication becomes bead positions rather than something to memorise.
Common questions
What is the 14 times table?
The 14 times table is 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98, 112, 126, 140, 154, 168, continuing to 14 x 20 which is 280. It is the same thing as the multiplication table of 14: each answer is 14 added to the one before it.
What is the easiest way to learn the 14 times table?
Double the sevens. For 14 x 6, seven sixes are 42, and doubling gives 84. Alternatively split into tens and fours: 60 plus 24 is also 84.
Which fact in the 14 times table do children get wrong most often?
14 x 7 is 98. Two of the hardest numbers in primary maths meet here, so it is worth doing it the slow way rather than guessing.
What is 14 x 12?
14 x 12 is 168. Twelve is the highest multiplier most primary schools require, though children who go further will need up to 14 x 20, which is 280.
Every times table
If the tables are a struggle
The problem is usually not the table
A child who is still counting to work out 14 x 3 has no attention left for 14 x 8. Fluency underneath is what makes the tables stick, and it is what abacus training builds.
