Table of 6 - Multiplication Table of 6

Children must remember the table of 6 from 1 to 10 which is given below: 

Tips and Tricks to Memorise Table of 6

• The most common trick to memorising any table is to read it as loud as you can. Once you dwell on the rhythm of the table, the table of 6 gets fixed in your mind. 

• The other trick to remembering the table of 6 is applicable on the even multiples of 6. And, the rest are other odd multiples we can fill in by adding 6 to the previous number. 

Let us understand this trick with the table given below:

• 6 × 1 = 6 (We all know)

• 6 × 2 = 12 (We obtain the tens digit by dividing the even multiple by 2, i.e., $\frac{2}{2}$ = 1 and ones digit is the even multiple itself.)

• 6 × 3 =  18 (12 + 6 = 18)

• 6 × 4 = 24 ($\frac{4}{2}$ = 2 is tens digit and 4 is ones digit.)

• 6 × 5 = 30 (24 + 6 = 30)

• 6 × 6 = 36 ($\frac{6}{2}$ = 3 is tens digit and 6 is ones digit.)

• 6 × 7 = 42 (36 + 6 = 42)

• 6 × 8 = 48 ($\frac{8}{2}$ = 4 is tens digit and 8 is ones digit.)

• 6 × 9 = 54 (48 + 6 = 54)

• 6 × 10 = 60 (No trick! You know it very well, isn’t it?)

Have you observed that each number that is a multiple of 6 is the multiple of 2 and 3 both? It tells us that if any number is divisible by 2 and 3 both, then the number is divisible by 6. 

Numerical Type Questions Based on Table 6

Now we will solve different types of numerical type questions based on the table of 6. 

Word Problems Based on Table 6

Question 1: Ram’s mother gives him 6 cupcakes every week. How many cupcakes will he get in the 4 weeks?

Solution: Ram gets 6 cupcakes every week. 

The number of cupcakes he gets in 4 weeks = 4 (number of weeks) × 6 (number of cupcakes) = 24

Therefore, he gets a total of 24 cupcakes in 4 weeks.

Question 2: Your teacher gives you 30 chocolates and asks you to distribute them among the group of 6 kids equally. How much will each child get?

Solution: Your teacher gives you 30 chocolates. To distribute these chocolates among the group of 6 kids, you have to divide 30 by 6.

So, the chocolates that each child will get = 306=5 chocolates.

Number Problems 

Question: Solve the following number problems:

• 6 × 6 = ?

• 54 ÷ 6 = ?

• 6 × … = 48

Answers: 

• 6 × 6 = 36

• 54 ÷ 6 = 9

• To solve this question 6 × … = 48, we have two methods.

1. First Method: In this method, we have to think by which number we should multiply 6, to get 48. For that, we will count the table to 6.

And, we get the solution as 6 × 8 = 48. 

Therefore, the answer is 8.

2. Second Method: in this method, we divide the number on the right-hand side, i.e., 48, by the number on the left-hand side, i.e., 6. Therefore, we get $\frac{48}{6}$ = 8.

So, 8 is the required answer.

Multiple Choice Questions

Question 1: What is 8 times of 6?

• 21

• 68

• 48

• 54

Answer: c

Explanation: 8 ÷ 2 = 4, so 4 must be the tens digit, so, the correct answer is (c). 

You can also mark the correct answer by multiplying 8 with 6.

Tips for Parent/Teacher

How to Read the Table to Your Kids?

There is no better way to learn any table except by reading a table a number of times in a loud voice. Ask your child to read out and you are also requested to repeat with him to make this activity enjoyable for the young learners.

You can also read the table in front of your kid and ask them to repeat after you. 

Conclusion

Children of age 5 are expected to learn the table of 6. Memorising the tables helps the children to solve many mathematical calculations easily which boosts their confidence. Once a child starts learning tables, it develops his interest in Mathematics which fosters him to become a young scientist, mathematician, or data scientist and serve the nation.
