Tips for Memorizing Multiplication Table of 9

Here are a few tips to help students memorize the multiplication table of 9 and less daunting tasks:

The most exciting and easy tip students use to memorize 9 times table is the order of units,’ and tens’ digits place where tens’ place numbers increase and units’ place numbers decrease from top to bottom.
Below is the table we have designed for you as an example:

Multipliers	Tens’ place	Units’ place
9 x 1 =	0	9
9 x 2 =	1	8
9 x 3 =	2	7
9 x 4 =	3	6
9 x 5 =	4	5
9 x 6 =	5	4
9 x 7 =	6	3
9 x 8 =	7	2
9 x 9 =	8	1
9 x 10 =	9	0

Not all multiplication tables follow a pattern like the 9 times table does. If you reverse the product of the first 5 multiples of the 9 times table, you will get the product answer of the next 6 to 10 multipliers. This is how:

9 x 1 = 09 ⇒ 9 x 10 = 90

9 x 2 = 18 ⇒ 9 x 9 = 81

9 x 3 = 27 ⇒ 9 x 8 = 72

9 x 4 = 36 ⇒ 9 x 6 = 63

9 x 5 = 45 ⇒ 9 x 5 = 54

Here is another informative yet exciting fact about the table of 9. To check if the product of the 9 times table is correct or not, simply sum them up. If the answer is 9, then it is undoubtedly correct. Let us see how:

9 times table	Sum of product
9 x 1 = 09	0 + 9 = 9
9 x 2 = 18	1 + 8 = 9
9 x 3 = 27	2 + 7 = 9
9 x 4 = 36	3 + 6 = 9
9 x 5 = 45	4 + 5 = 9
9 x 6 = 54	5 + 4 = 9
9 x 7 = 63	6 + 3 = 9
9 x 8 = 72	7 + 2 = 9
9 x 9 = 81	8 + 1 = 9
9 x 10 = 90	9 + 0 = 9

Example Question of Table of 9

Question: There are nine colors in a coloring box. How many colors are there in eleven coloring boxes?

Answer:

Given that,
Total number of coloring boxes = 11
Total colors in each box = 9
Total colors in all = 11 x 9 = 99
Hence, there are 99 colors in total.

Question: Evaluate 9 times 5 plus 5 and 9 times 5 minus 5, using a 9 times table.

Solution:

Given that,
9 times 5 plus 5 and 9 times 5 minus 5
In mathematical form,
= 9 x 5 + 5 and 9 x 5 – 5
= 45 + 5 and 45 – 5
= 50 and 40
Hence, 9 times 5 plus 5 and 9 times 5 minus 5 are equal to 50 and 40, respectively.

Question: Check whether the 9 times 4 minus 10 is 26? Use a multiplication table of 9.

Solution:

Given that,
9 times 4 minus 10
In mathematical form,
= 9 x 4 – 10
= 36 – 10
= 26
Hence Proved, 9 times 4 minus 10 is 26.

Question: How many times of 9 is equal to 162?

Solution:

Let ‘a’ be the number
⇒ a x 9 = 162
⇒ a = 162/9
⇒ a = 18
Therefore, 18 times 9 is equal to 162.

Question: Each bag has 5 books. How many books are there in 9 such bags? (Use repeated addition method)

Solution:

Total number of books = 9 x 5 = 54
By addition method,
Total number of books = 9 + 9 + 9 +9 + 9 = 54
Thus, there are 54 books in total in 9 bags.
