A quick way to work it out

Double the table of 7. For 14 × 6, find 7 × 6 = 42 and double it to get 84. Or split: ten sixes are 60, four sixes are 24, total 84.

Patterns in the table of 14

• Last digit. The last digits run 4, 8, 2, 6 and 0 and then start again, a cycle of five. All of them are even, so no answer in the table of 14 can be odd.
• Odd and even. 14 is even, so every answer is even, whatever you multiply by.
• Digit totals. Add the digits of each answer until one digit is left. For the first nine answers you get 5, 1, 6, 2, 7, 3, 8, 4 and 9: every digit from 1 to 9, once each. This happens for every number that is not a multiple of 3.
• Steps of 14. Each answer is 14 more than the one above it. So if 14 × 7 slips your mind, take 14 × 6 = 84 and add 14 to get 98.
• Total of the first ten. Add the first ten answers and you get 770. That is 55 × 14, because 1 + 2 + 3 and so on up to 10 is 55.

How the table of 14 is built

14 is not prime: it can be written as 2 × 7. So its table can be built from a smaller one. For example 14 × 6 is 2 × 42, and 7 × 6 = 42, so the answer is 2 × 42 = 84. The square of 14 is 14 × 14 = 196. On a multiplication chart the squares lie on the diagonal line from top left to bottom right.

Split it. Above 10, the sure method is to split the number into tens and units. 14 × 8 is 10 × 8 plus 4 × 8, which is 80 + 32 = 112.

Where you meet 14

A fortnight is 14 days, which is 2 weeks. Three fortnights are 14 × 3 = 42 days. Because 14 is 2 × 7, every answer in this table is an even multiple of 7.

Division facts from this table

Every line gives a division fact for free. From 14 × 7 = 98 you know that 98 ÷ 14 = 7 and 98 ÷ 7 = 14. To divide a number by 14, look for it in the answers above: 126 is on line 9, so 126 ÷ 14 = 9. More on this in division from tables.
