The trick for the 13 times table: 10 times plus 3 times

Split 13 into 10 and 3. Do both facts and add.

• 13 × 7: 10 × 7 = 70, 3 × 7 = 21, total 91
• 13 × 12: 10 × 12 = 120, 3 × 12 = 36, total 156

Patterns in the 13 times table

• The ones digits go 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0, the same as the 3 times table.
• Each answer is the 10 times answer plus the 3 times answer.
• 13 × 8 = 104 is the first answer over 100.
• The answers go odd, even, odd, even.

Saying the table out loud helps too: thirteen times one is 13, thirteen times two is 26…

1. Thirteen times one is 13.
2. Thirteen times two is 26.
3. Thirteen times three is 39.
4. Thirteen times four is 52.
5. Thirteen times five is 65.

See the 13 times table

Draw these with your child. Each one shows that multiplying by 13 means counting equal groups of 13.

Facts you already know

Learn it after the 1 to 12 tables. You do not need new facts: every fact splits into a 10 times fact and a fact you already know.

For example, 13 × 6 = 10 × 6 + 3 × 6 = 60 + 18 = 78. Children who know the 1 to 12 tables can work out every 13 times fact this way, and with practice the answers become memorised.

The table also works backwards as division: 39 ÷ 13 = 3 · 91 ÷ 13 = 7 · 156 ÷ 13 = 12.

In real life: A baker’s dozen is 13: bakers used to add one extra to every 12. How many buns in 3 baker’s dozens? 3 × 13 = 39.

The 13 times table as division facts

Every multiplication fact has a division fact hiding inside it. If 13 × 6 = 78, then 78 shared into groups of 13 makes 6 groups. Here are the division facts for the table of 13:

1. 13 ÷ 13 = 1
2. 26 ÷ 13 = 2
3. 39 ÷ 13 = 3
4. 52 ÷ 13 = 4
5. 65 ÷ 13 = 5
6. 78 ÷ 13 = 6
7. 91 ÷ 13 = 7
8. 104 ÷ 13 = 8
9. 117 ÷ 13 = 9
10. 130 ÷ 13 = 10
11. 143 ÷ 13 = 11
12. 156 ÷ 13 = 12

Four facts with the same three numbers make a fact family.

13 × 7 = 91 · 7 × 13 = 91 · 91 ÷ 13 = 7 · 91 ÷ 7 = 13

Learning the table this way means your child learns division at the same time. To check a division answer, multiply back (see check division with multiplication).

Multiples of 13

The answers in the 13 times table are the multiples of 13. They go on forever: 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91, 104… Every multiple of 13 can be split into equal groups of 13 with nothing left over.

Is it a multiple of 13? 13 is prime and has no quick digit test, so divide by 13 and check for a remainder. Try it on 182: it is 13 × 14. Older children use these tests to find factors and multiples and to simplify fractions.

13 times table word problems

Word problems show your child when to use the table. Read each one aloud, ask “how many groups, and how many in each group?”, then multiply.

1. Groups to total. How many buns in 6 baker’s dozens? There are 6 groups of 13, so 6 × 13 = 78 buns.
2. Total to groups. 117 buns are put into groups of 13. How many groups? Ask “13 times what is 117?” The answer is 9.
3. Two steps. Count the buns in 4 baker’s dozens, then in 3 more. That is 52 + 39 = 91. Quicker: 4 + 3 = 7 groups, and 7 × 13 = 91.

A 5-day plan for the 13 times table

1. Day 1: learn the trick (10 times plus 3 times) and say the table forwards.
2. Day 2: say it backwards, then answer the practice questions in order.
3. Day 3: mixed order, with extra time on 13 × 7 and 13 × 8.
4. Day 4: missing numbers and division: 13 × ? = 104 and 104 ÷ 13.
5. Day 5: the 1-minute challenge, then the worksheet.

Five minutes a day is enough. A fact is learned when the answer comes in about 3 seconds without counting. Come back to the table once a week after that, so it stays fresh.
