Multiplication Table of 24
The 24 times table is the list of products you get when you multiply 24 by each whole number in turn. Because 24=20+4, every row can be rebuilt from two tables you already know: the 20s and the 4s.

The 24 times table is repeated addition of 24. Each row adds one more group of twenty-four, so the table answers "how much is twenty-four, added to itself, again and again?"
Multiples of 24
The multiples of 24 are the numbers you reach by skip-counting in twenty-fours. The first twenty multiples are:
24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 192, 216, 240, 264, 288, 312, 336, 360, 384, 408, 432, 456, 480.
How to Learn the 24 Times Table (Patterns, Not Memorizing)
Bhanzu teaches the few patterns that generate a table rather than drilling its facts into recall. Twenty-four looks large, but it is built from numbers you already know, so you can reason out any row instead of memorizing it.
Pattern 1: Split 24 as 20+4.
Pattern 2: The 24s are the 12s doubled.
Pattern 3: The units digits cycle 4, 8, 2, 6, 0.
Pattern 4: The 24s are the 8s tripled.
How to Read and Use the 24 Times Table
Read each row left to right: 24×6=144 is "twenty-four multiplied six times gives one hundred forty-four."
To learn it, chant the first ten multiples until the sequence flows, then shuffle the order and quiz yourself.
Where the 24 Times Table Appears
Twenty-four is everywhere a day is measured: 24 hours in a day means the table of 24 counts hours across several days.
