Learn the 10 Times Table
The 10 times table is one of the easiest multiplication tables to understand because it follows a clear place-value pattern.
Learn the multiplication table of 10 from 10 × 1 to 10 × 12, understand why each whole-number product ends in zero, and apply the same idea to numbers beyond the standard times table.
Multiplying a whole number by 10 makes each digit worth ten times as much.

What Happens When You Multiply by 10?
You may have heard the shortcut “add a zero.” For whole numbers it produces the right result, but place value explains what is actually happening.
When a whole number is multiplied by 10, every digit becomes worth ten times as much. A digit in the ones place moves to the tens place, a digit in the tens place moves to the hundreds place, and so on.
Every Whole-Number Multiple of 10 Ends in 0
The products in the 10 times table are easy to recognize because every one of them has 0 in the ones place.
10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and so on are consecutive positive multiples of 10. Each product is exactly 10 greater than the previous one.
If you multiply a whole number by 10 and your answer does not end in 0, the calculation needs checking.
The ×10 Rule Works With Larger Whole Numbers Too
Understanding place value means you are not limited to memorizing twelve multiplication facts. The same principle works with much larger whole numbers.
The 3 tens become 3 hundreds and the 2 ones become 2 tens.
Every digit moves to a place worth ten times as much.
This same understanding of place value also prepares you for multiplication by 100 and 1,000, where each digit changes place value by two or three positions.
Why “Just Add a Zero” Is Only a Shortcut
For the positive whole numbers in the 10 times table, writing a zero after the number gives the correct product. But that wording does not explain the underlying mathematics.
Here, writing a zero at the end happens to match the place-value shift.
Simply writing a zero after 2.5 would give 2.50, which is not ten times 2.5.
Multiplication by 10 changes the place value of every digit. Thinking this way works with whole numbers and also avoids confusion when you later work with decimals.
See the Relationship Between ×5 and ×10
For the same multiplier, a ×10 product is exactly twice the corresponding ×5 product. This gives you a useful connection between two tables.
If you want to explore that relationship from the other direction, review the 5 times table.
Use Equal Groups to Make ×10 Visual
Place value explains the number pattern, while equal groups help show what multiplication by 10 represents.
Six packs containing ten pencils each contain 60 pencils altogether.
Twelve equal groups with ten items in each group contain 120 items.
The fact 10 × 10 = 100 is an important connection between multiplication and our base-ten place-value system.
Practice the 10 Times Table
Once you understand the place-value rule, practice recalling the standard ×10 facts directly and mix them with multiplication facts from other tables.

10 Times Table Questions
Review common ×10 multiplication facts and the place-value rule behind them.
What is the 10 times table?
From 10 × 1 to 10 × 12, the products are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120.
What is 10 × 5?
10 × 5 = 50.
What is 10 × 7?
10 × 7 = 70.
What is 10 × 8?
10 × 8 = 80.
What is 10 × 10?
10 × 10 = 100.
What is 10 × 11?
10 × 11 = 110.
What is 10 × 12?
10 × 12 = 120.
Why does a whole number multiplied by 10 end in zero?
Multiplication by 10 makes every digit worth ten times as much. For a whole number, the digits move one place to the left in the place-value system, leaving 0 in the ones place. For example, 23 × 10 = 230.
Does the “add a zero” trick always work when multiplying by 10?
Writing a zero at the end works as a shortcut when multiplying whole numbers by 10, but it is not the general mathematical rule. For example, 2.5 × 10 = 25, not 2.50. Thinking in terms of place value gives the correct idea for both whole numbers and decimals.
