Table of 12
The table of 12 is obtained through the repetitive addition of 12 to itself. A table is given below for better understanding.
| Table of 12 | |
|---|---|
| 12 × 1 = 12 | 12 |
| 12 × 2 = 24 | 12 + 12 = 24 |
| 12 × 3 = 36 | 12 + 12 + 12 = 36 |
| 12 × 4 = 48 | 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 48 |
| 12 × 5 = 60 | 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 60 |
| 12 × 6 = 72 | 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 72 |
| 12 × 7 = 84 | 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 84 |
| 12 × 8 = 96 | 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 96 |
| 12 × 9 = 108 | 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 108 |
| 12 × 10 = 120 | 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 120 |
To understand how to use table of 12 in numerical, a few examples are given below.
Example 1: If twelve people have 6 luggage bags each, how many luggage bags are there in total?
Solution: Here, 12 people have 6 luggage bags
Using the table of 12, 12 times 6 is, 12 x 6 = 72
Thus, the total number of luggage bags is 72.
Example 2: If there are 84 mangoes and they are to be distributed equally among 12 people, how many mangoes will each person get?
Solution: We know that 12 x 7 = 84
Thus, each person will get 7 mangoes.

Learning the table of 12 can become easy through various tips and tricks. A few such tricks are given below.
First Trick
The first trick involves a very simple process. First write down the numbers from 1 to 12 in ascending order, excluding the numbers 5 and 11.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 12 |
Now, the second step is to write the even numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 next to the above numbers repeatedly, as such;
| 12 | 24 | 36 | 48 | 60 | 72 | 84 | 96 | 108 | 120 |
And now we have the table of 12 right here.

Second Trick
The table of 12 can be obtained by adding the table of 2 and the table of 10.
| Table of 10 | Table of 2 | Addition | Table of 12 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 × 1 = 10 | 2 × 1 = 2 | 10 + 2 | 12 |
| 10 × 2 = 20 | 2 × 2 = 4 | 20 + 4 | 24 |
| 10 × 3 = 30 | 2 × 3 = 6 | 30 + 6 | 36 |
| 10 × 4 = 40 | 2 × 4 = 8 | 40 + 8 | 48 |
| 10 × 5 = 50 | 2 × 5 = 10 | 50 + 10 | 60 |
| 10 × 6 = 60 | 2 × 6 = 12 | 60 + 12 | 72 |
| 10 × 7 = 70 | 2 × 7 = 14 | 70 + 14 | 84 |
| 10 × 8 = 80 | 2 × 8 = 16 | 80 + 16 | 96 |
| 10 × 9 = 90 | 2 × 9 = 18 | 90 + 18 | 108 |
| 10 × 10 = 100 | 2 × 10 = 20 | 100 + 20 | 120 |
Here the table of 12 is obtained as the result by adding the table of 10 and the table of 2.

| 6 × 2 = 12 | 12 x 2 | 24 |
| 6 × 3 = 18 | 18 x 2 | 36 |
| 6 × 4 = 24 | 24 x 2 | 48 |
| 6 × 5 = 30 | 30 x 2 | 60 |
| 6 × 6 = 36 | 36 x 2 | 72 |
| 6 × 7 = 42 | 42 x 2 | 84 |
| 6 × 8 = 48 | 48 x 2 | 96 |
| 6 × 9 = 54 | 54 x 2 | 108 |
| 6 × 10 = 60 | 60 x 2 | 120 |
Here, we get the table of 12 by multiplying the table of 6 with 2.
