A times table is a chart that shows the results of multiplying a number with whole numbers. Learning the times table will help kids understand multiplication. We use an algebraic system to define multiplication operations, construction, estimation, schoolwork, exams, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the table of 720.
Multiplication was used by people over 4000 years ago. Babylonians were considered the first to use it in clay tablets. Multiplication tables are created as a result of people's search for easier ways to solve problems. Learning multiplication tables has numerous advantages. Kids can answer quickly if they know their times table. It also helps to enhance their understanding skills. Being more familiar with the tables improves children's memory and confidence.
Multiplying the whole numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on) by 720 gives the product of the multiplication table of 720. Here are some examples:
720 × 1 = 720
720 × 2 = 720 + 720 = 1,440
720 × 3 = 720 + 720 + 720 = 2,160
720 × 4 = 720 + 720 + 720 + 720 = 2,880
720 × 5 = 720 + 720 + 720 + 720 + 720 = 3,600
720, 1,440, 2,160, 2,880, 3,600, and so on are multiples of 720.
The 720 times table chart shows the multiples of 720. Every result in the chart is obtained by multiplying 720 with other whole numbers, like 1 to 10, and so on.
For example:
720 × 10 = 7,200
720 × 11 = 7,920
720 × 12 = 8,640, and so on.

720 x 14 = 10080 |
720 x 19 = 13680 |
720 x 15 = 10800 |
720 x 20 = 14400 |
Understanding the multiplication table of 720 can be challenging because of the larger number involved. But with the tips and tricks, it becomes easier. Let’s look into some:
Breaking the numbers into smaller parts will make it easy to learn multiplication.
For example:
720 × 4
Here, 720 can break into 700 + 20
(700 × 4) + (20 × 4) = 2,800 + 80
= 2,880.
On one side of the flashcard, write the multiplication problems.
For example:
Front: 720 × 3
Back: 2,160.
The unit digits in the 720 times table repeat every 5 multiples.
For example:
The unit digits repeat in the cycle: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0. After every 5 multiples, the cycle restarts.
While working on the tables of 720, it's common for kids to make some errors. Here are some common mistakes that kids make and the tips on how to avoid them.
A factory produces 720 tiles every hour. How many tiles does the factory produce in a single hour?
720 tiles.
Since the factory produces 720 tiles in one hour, the total number of tiles produced in a single hour is simply 720. For example: 720 × 1 = 720.
A concert hall sells tickets for an event, with each ticket priced at 720 units. If the concert hall sells 7 tickets, how much revenue do they generate?
5040 units.
To find the total revenue from ticket sales, multiply the price of one ticket (720) by the number of tickets sold (7):
720 × 7 = 5040 units.
A library has 720 books, and they decide to distribute these books across 12 shelves evenly. How many books will each shelf contain?
60 books.
To find the number of books per shelf, divide the total number of books (720) by the number of shelves (12):
720 ÷ 12 = 60 books.
A company installs 720 meters of fiber optic cable each day. How many meters of cable will they have installed after 5 days?
3600 meters.
To determine the total length of cable installed over 5 days, multiply the daily installation length by the number of days: 720 × 5 = 3600 meters.
A team of 720 volunteers is participating in a tree planting campaign. If each volunteer plants 3 trees, how many trees are planted in total?
2160 trees.
The total number of trees planted is the product of the number of volunteers and the number of trees each volunteer plants: 720 × 3 = 2160 trees.
