# 24 Times Table — Tricks, Multiples, Examples

TL;DR

The 24 times table lists the multiples of 24: 24 × 10 = 240 and 24 × 20 = 480, with units digits cycling 4, 8, 2, 6, 0. This article covers the full chart to ×20, the table in words, the multiples of 24, the split-into-20-and-4 trick, worked examples, and the mistakes to avoid.

## 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.

## What Is the 24 Times Table?

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.

## Solved Examples

### Example 1

**What is 24×9?**

**Final answer:** 24×9=216.

### Example 2 (Wrong path first)

**A crate holds 24 bottles. How many bottles are in 5 crates?**

**Final answer:** 120 bottles.

### Example 3

**Find 24×12.**

**Final answer:** 24×12=288.

### Example 4

**24×?=360.**

**Final answer:** 24×15=360.

### Example 5

**A clock's pendulum completes 24 swings a minute. How many swings in 8 minutes?**

**Final answer:** 192 swings.

## Common Mistakes

### Mistake 1: Adding only the 20-part of the split

### Mistake 2: Splitting 24 as 2 and 4 instead of 20 and 4.
