Learning the 1 times table is the easiest way to start understanding multiplication. When you multiply any number by 1, the number stays exactly the same.
Use the interactive table below to learn the multiplication table of 1 from 1 × 1 to 1 × 12, then practice with questions and test how quickly you can answer them.
The rule to remember
Any number multiplied by 1 stays the same.
For example: 1 × 8 = 8

Understanding the table
The 1 times table follows one very simple multiplication rule: multiplying a number by 1 does not change its value.
This is called the multiplicative identity. The number 1 is known as the identity element for multiplication because multiplying by 1 leaves the original number unchanged.
Easy learning method
You do not really need to memorize twelve different answers for the table of 1. Instead, remember one rule:
Look at the number after the × sign. That number is also the answer.
If the question is 1 × 9, simply look at 9. The answer is 9. If the question is 1 × 11, the answer is 11.
The same rule works even with much larger numbers. For example, 1 × 50 = 50 and 1 × 1,000 = 1,000.
Key pattern
The answers in the 1 times table increase by exactly 1 each time:
This makes the table of 1 a useful first step before moving on to more challenging multiplication tables.

Questions and answers
The 1 times table is the multiplication sequence created by multiplying numbers by 1. Its first twelve answers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
1 × 1 = 1.
1 × 10 = 10. Multiplying 10 by 1 leaves the number unchanged.
1 × 12 = 12.
In mathematics, 1 is the multiplicative identity. This means that multiplying any number by 1 leaves that number unchanged.
After learning the 1 times table, the 2 times table is a good next step because every answer can be found by doubling a number.
