2 Times Table

The 2 times table lists the multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6 and so on. Here it is up to 2 × 20, with a printable chart and tricks to remember it.

How to remember the 2 times table

  • Multiplying by 2 is doubling: 2 × 8 = 8 + 8 = 16.
  • Count in twos: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. Every answer is an even number.
  • The last digits repeat 2, 4, 6, 8, 0, so 2 × 7 must end in 4: 2 × 7 = 14.

Patterns in the 2 times table

  • Each answer is 2 more than the one before: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and so on.
  • 2 × 2 = 4 is a square number: 2 rows of 2.
  • Learning in order? You already know 2 × 1 to 2 × 1 from the earlier tables (2 × 3 = 3 × 2), so only 11 of the facts up to 2 × 12 are new.

Division facts for 2

Every times table fact works backwards too: if 2 × 8 = 16, then 16 ÷ 2 = 8.
