7 Times Table
The trick for the 7 times table is to skip-count in sevens, 7, 14, 21, 28, adding 7 each time, and to learn 7 × 8 = 56 by heart: 5, 6, 7, 8 reads it out. This page opens the multiplication table with the 7 row lit, writes out 7 × 1 to 7 × 12 = 84 with the working for each fact, and prints as a clean sheet. Choose a larger grid up to 30 to read more products across row 7; the worked list always stops at ×12. Small screens may need sideways scrolling.

- Highlight
Any whole number from 1 to 30 in the size box redraws the grid. The grid scrolls sideways on narrow screens. Print gives the grid and twelve worked 7 times table facts. Copy as text puts the grid on the clipboard with tabs between the cells, so it pastes into a spreadsheet as cells.

The 7 times table
Skip-count in sevens: 7, 14, 21, 28. Each answer is the one before it plus 7, and 7 × 8 = 56 is the one to learn by heart, because 5, 6, 7, 8 reads it out in order.

| 7 × 4 | 28 | 21 + 7 |

Common questions
- What is the trick for the 7 times table?
- Skip-count in sevens: 7, 14, 21, 28. Each answer is the one before it plus 7, and 7 × 8 = 56 is the one to learn by heart, because 5, 6, 7, 8 reads it out in order. Take 7 × 6: 7 × 5 = 35, and 35 + 7 = 42.
- What is 7 × 8?
- 7 × 8 = 56. Remember 5, 6, 7, 8: 56 = 7 × 8. Or count on from 7 × 7 = 49: 49 + 7 = 56. Or double 7 three times, 14, 28, 56, which is the 8 times table's trick used from the other side.
- What pattern do the answers in the 7 times table follow?
- Its last digits run through every digit once before repeating: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70 end in 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0. The useful move is to turn the fact round: 7 × 8 is 8 × 7, so any fact with a 7 in it can be taken from the other number's table, and 7 × 5 = 35 comes from the 5 times table at once.
- Can I print the 7 times table?
- Yes. Press Print, or use your browser's own print command, and only the table prints: the full grid with the 7 row shaded when the selected grid includes it, then the 7 times table written out as 12 facts with the working beside each one. The headings, buttons and this text are left off. Choose PDF as the printer to save it as a file instead.
- How is this page different from the full multiplication table?
- It is the same grid with the 7 row lit from the start, and the 7 times table written out underneath with the trick applied to each fact, so 7 × 1 to 7 × 12 can be read down one column. Move over any other cell and its row and column light up as well, with the fact in the Highlight readout, but the 7 row stays lit and the facts below stay the 7 times table. The full table, with any size from 1 to 30, is on the multiplication table page.
- Can I read the 7 times table through ×20?
- Yes. Choose 20 in the size controls and read across row 7 to column 20: 7 × 20 = 140. The grid can run through ×30, while the separate worked list stays at ×12. If you choose a grid smaller than 7, that row is outside it but the twelve facts still appear below. This is a completed reference chart, with no blank worksheet, flash cards, quiz or song.
- Where can I get a times table quiz or exercise worksheet?
- Use Multiplication Practice for a quiz: set First factor minimum and maximum to 7, Second factor minimum to 1 and maximum to 12, then choose a question count and duration (0 is untimed). Math Worksheet Maker makes exercise sheets: choose Multiplication, First factor 7, Second factor 1 to 12, then save the PDF sheet and answer key. It also accepts selected tables such as 2, 5, 10. Both tools are linked below. They provide original practice rather than an official school assessment.
