Table of 40 to 45

Learning the tables from 40 to 45 will make math much easier, as it builds on the foundation of multiplication.
When you multiply by 40, you are essentially multiplying by 4 and then adding a zero at the end.
Let's look into the tables from 40 to 45.

Table of 46 to 50
Now that you know the first set of times tables from 40 to 45, let's move on to the next set!
These tables will help you multiply even faster.

You'll start noticing some interesting patterns, like in the tables of 50 —
just add a zero after multiplying by 5.

Such patterns will help you memorize times tables.

Tips to memorize multiplication tables 40 to 50

Kids might find times tables difficult at first, but it gets easier and super exciting with a few tricks.
Here are some engaging tips and tricks to help kids learn multiplication tables, quicker and easier.

Begin with easy times tables:
Start with easier tables like 45 and 50. These have simple patterns that are followed, which makes it easier to memorize.
Once you get a hang of these, you can move to the bigger numbers.

Example:
In the table of 40, start with 40 and add 40 as you go.
40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280, 320, 360, 400.
Repeated addition makes this table easy to learn.

Practice with real-life examples:
Try to use real-life situations to get a better understanding of multiplication tables.
For example, calculating the total cost of buying multiple items priced between ₹40 and ₹50.

Identifying patterns:
Each times table follows a pattern. Let's learn about these patterns.
It will help and make it easier for you to memorize!

For 40, 44, and 48:
Start by multiplying by 4 and then add a zero.
For example:
40 × 1 = 40
40 × 2 = 80
…and so on.
The pattern is about repeated addition and adding zero.

For 41, 42, and 43:
These tables follow a pattern of adding the base number each time.
For example, the 41's table is:
41, 82, 123, 164, etc.

For 45 and 50:
The 45's table ends in 5 or 0.
For the 50’s table, just multiply by 5 and add a zero.

Common mistakes and how to avoid them in multiplication tables 40 to 50

It’s normal to make mistakes while learning multiplication tables. Let’s look at some common mistakes kids make when learning multiplication tables and how to avoid them.

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Confusing multiplication with addition

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Multiplication is a repeated addition; children might be confused between the same. For example, 44 × 5 = 220, instead of multiplying 44 five times, they may just add 44 with 5 (44 + 5 = 49), which gives an incorrect answer.

Mistake 2

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Overlooking the pattern that the times table follows

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Children find the multiplication table difficult to learn as they ignore the pattern each table follows, which helps in memorizing the tables. For example, not recognizing that the table of 50 ends in 0.

Mistake 3

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Incorrectly multiplying by 0

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Children incorrectly multiply 0, thinking it gives the same result as it happens with 1. Keep in mind that anything multiplied by 0 equals 0. For example, saying 48 × 0 = 48 instead of 48 × 0 = 0.

Mistake 4

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Not memorizing multiplication tables

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Kids sometimes rely too much on calculators or counting, even for lower multiplication tables. For example, 50 × 3 may be counted as 50, 100, 150 instead of recalling it immediately.

Mistake 5

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Confusing multiplicand with multiplier

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Getting confused about which number goes in the first and second position can give incorrect answers. The multiplicand is the number being multiplied, while the multiplier tells you how many times to multiply the multiplicand. For example, 46 × 8, 46 is the multiplicand and 8 is the multiplier. The order must not change the result: 46 × 8 = 8 × 46.

Important Glossaries for Tables 40 to 50

  • Multiplicand: The number you are multiplying. For example, in 44 × 7 = 308, the number 44 is the multiplicand, and 7 is the multiplier.

 

  • Multiplier: The number that tells you how many times the multiplicand should be multiplied. For example, in 42 × 6 = 252, the multiplier is 6 as we multiply 42 six times.

 

  • Repeated addition: A way to understand multiplication by adding the same number multiple times. For example, 50 × 3 is the same as adding 50 three times: 50 + 50 + 50 = 150.

 

  • Pattern recognition: Identifying sequences or commonalities in numbers to simplify learning. For example, recognizing that every number in the 50 times table ends in 0 or 00.

 

  • Zero property of multiplication: Any number multiplied by zero equals zero. For example, 48 × 0 = 0.
