11 Times Table
For the first nine facts the 11 times table barely needs learning at all — you just write the digit twice. The last three break the pattern, and those are the ones worth practising.
Counting up in 11s: 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, 110

The clever bit
Write the digit twice, then switch to ten plus one
Eleven is 10 + 1, so multiplying by 11 puts the digit in the tens column and the same digit in the units column. The result is that it appears twice:
- 11 × 3 = 33
- 11 × 6 = 66
- 11 × 9 = 99
That is nine facts learned in about ten seconds, which makes this the best-value table on the site.
Where the pattern stops
The trick relies on the digit fitting in a single column, so it runs out at 11 × 9. After that:
- 11 × 10 = 110
- 11 × 11 = 121
- 11 × 12 = 132
Work them out with ten-plus-one: 11 × 12 is (10 × 12) + (1 × 12) = 120 + 12 = 132. These three are the only facts in this table that need genuine practice, so that is where the time should go.
A bonus trick for bigger numbers
For 11 times any two-digit number, add the two digits and drop the total in the middle:
- 11 × 23 → 2 + 3 = 5 → 253
- 11 × 61 → 6 + 1 = 7 → 671
If the digits add to more than 9, the extra carries into the tens — which is exactly why 11 × 12 comes out as 132 rather than 132 spelled out naively.

The ones people trip on
Most mistakes in the 11 times table land on these. Each one has a way in.
11 × 12 = 132
The pattern has stopped by here. 110 + 22 = 132.

Players in a football team, and the number of a spinal vertebra nobody ever remembers. Three football teams have 3 × 11 = 33 players.
Questions parents ask
Why does 11 times a single digit just repeat that digit?
Because 11 is 10 + 1. Multiplying by 10 puts the digit in the tens column, and multiplying by 1 puts it in the units column, so the same digit appears twice. 11 × 4 is 40 + 4 = 44.
Where does the repeating pattern in the 11 times table stop?
At 11 × 9 = 99. After that the units digit would need to carry, so 11 × 10 = 110, 11 × 11 = 121 and 11 × 12 = 132. These three are the only ones that need real practice.
What is the trick for 11 times a two-digit number?
Add the two digits and drop the total in the middle. For 11 × 23: 2 + 3 = 5, so the answer is 253. If the digits total more than 9 you carry the extra, which is why 11 × 12 is 132 rather than 1(3)2.
Is the 11 times table worth practising?
Only lightly for the first nine facts. Spend the time on 11 × 11 and 11 × 12, which appear in tests and do not follow the pattern.
