14 Times Table
The 14 times table looks intimidating on paper, but 14 is exactly double 7 — so every fact here is one doubling step away from a table most children already know.
Counting up in 14s: 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98, 112, 126, 140

The clever bit
Double the 7 times table
Fourteen is double seven, and that single fact unlocks the whole table.
Take any fact from the 7 times table and double the answer:
- 14 × 3 → double (7 × 3 = 21) = 42
- 14 × 6 → double (7 × 6 = 42) = 84
- 14 × 9 → double (7 × 9 = 63) = 126
This works because 14 × n is the same as (2 × 7) × n, which regroups to 2 × (7 × n) — double whatever the 7 times table gives you.
Leaning on the 7 times table’s own tricks
If a 7-times fact is itself tricky, use its trick first, then double:
- 14 × 8 → 7 × 8 = 56 (remember: 5, 6, 7, 8) → double it → 112
One reassurance
Nothing new is being learned here mathematically — just one extra doubling step on top of the 7 times table. If sevens are solid, fourteens follow quickly.

The ones people trip on
Most mistakes in the 14 times table land on these. Each one has a way in.
14 × 7 = 98
14 × 7 → double 7 × 7. 7 × 7 = 49, so double it: 98.
14 × 8 = 112
14 × 8 → double 7 × 8. 7 × 8 = 56, so double it: 112.
14 × 9 = 126
14 × 9 → double 7 × 9. 7 × 9 = 63, so double it: 126.
Where the 14 times table shows up
There are 14 days in a fortnight. Three fortnights is 3 × 14 = 42 days.
Questions parents ask
What is the quickest way to learn the 14 times table?
Learn the 7 times table first, then double every answer. 14 × 6 is double of 7 × 6 (42), so it is 84. The whole table transfers across once the sevens are solid.
Why does doubling the 7 times table work for 14?
14 is exactly 2 × 7, and multiplication lets you regroup: 14 × n = (2 × 7) × n = 2 × (7 × n). So doubling any 7-times answer gives the matching 14-times answer.
What is 14 × 14?
196. Using the double-of-7 method: 7 × 14 = 98 (from the 7 times table extended), and double 98 is 196.
Is the 14 times table harder than the 7 times table?
The multiplication step is no harder — it is one extra doubling on top of a fact you already know. Most of the difficulty is just getting comfortable with larger numbers.
