11 Times Table: Chart, Patterns & Practice

Quick answer

The 11 times table is 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, 110, 121 and 132. From 11 × 1 to 11 × 9, just write the digit twice: 11 × 7 = 77. For bigger numbers, use 10 groups plus one more group: 11 × 12 is 120 + 12, which is 132. The 11s are common in schools but not required by the Common Core.

The 11 times table chart

Here's the full table. The third column shows the strategy that works for every 11s fact: ten groups plus one more group.

Counting by 11s: the repeating-digit pattern (highlighted) runs from 11 to 99, then changes.

Ten of the twelve facts are already known

Thanks to the turn-around rule, 11 × 8 is the same fact as 8 × 11, so every table your child learned earlier already covers part of the 11s. In our recommended order, the 11s come after all of the 1–10 tables, so 10 of the 12 facts are already known.

11 × 1 = 11from the 1s
11 × 2 = 22from the 2s
11 × 3 = 33from the 3s
11 × 4 = 44from the 4s
11 × 5 = 55from the 5s
11 × 6 = 66from the 6s
11 × 7 = 77from the 7s
11 × 8 = 88from the 8s

New in the 11s: 11 × 11 = 121 and 11 × 12 = 132.

So the 11s are mostly review. The two new facts follow the ten-plus-one strategy, and the split-and-add trick double-checks them.

The repeating-digit pattern

For 11 × 1 to 11 × 9, the answer is the digit written twice: 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99. The reason is place value. Eleven is 10 + 1, so 11 × 4 is 4 tens and 4 ones: 44.

11 × 4 is 4 tens and 4 ones: 44

These answers are all palindromes: they read the same forward and backward. Kids enjoy hunting for more palindromes on the multiplication chart, like 121, which is 11 × 11.

Where the pattern stops: 11 × 10, 11 × 11 and 11 × 12

The most common mistake in the 11s is stretching the pattern too far. 11 × 10 isn't 1010, 11 × 11 isn't 1111, and 11 × 12 isn't 1212. Ten groups plus one more group gives the real answers:

11 × 10 = 100 + 10 = 110
11 × 11 = 110 + 11 = 121
11 × 12 = 120 + 12 = 132

The split-and-add trick for two-digit numbers

To multiply 11 by a two-digit number, split its digits apart and put their sum in the middle. For 11 × 12: split 1 and 2, add 1 + 2 = 3, and put the 3 in the middle: 132.

11 + 22 132

11 × 12: split 1 and 2, put their sum in the middle: 132.

11 × 11: 1 and 1, with 1 + 1 = 2 in the middle, makes 121
11 × 10: 1 and 0, with 1 + 0 = 1 in the middle, makes 110
11 × 23: 2 and 3, with 2 + 3 = 5 in the middle, makes 253

If the middle sum is 10 or more, carry the 1 to the left. For 11 × 57, 5 + 7 = 12, so the first digit becomes 5 + 1 = 6, then comes the 2, then the 7: 627. That's a fun challenge for kids who have the 1–12 tables down.

Common mistakes with the 11s (and quick fixes)

Stretching the pattern. Answering 1010 for 11 × 10, or 1111 for 11 × 11. The repeating-digit pattern stops at 11 × 9.
Answering 122 or 1212 for 11 × 12. Use ten 12s plus one 12: 120 + 12 = 132.
Thinking 11 × 0 is 11. Zero groups of 11 is 0.
Mixing up 11 × 12 and 12 × 12. 132 and 144 are neighbors on the chart. Twelve 12s is one more 12: 132 + 12 = 144.

11 times table practice

Ten questions, mixed on purpose: some are turned around, and some have a missing number, like 11 × ? = 66. Tap a question to check the answer, and ask your child which trick they used. Finding a missing factor is how third graders start to think about division (3.OA.A.4).

11 × 3 = ?
11 × 3 = 33
11 × 7 = ?
11 × 7 = 77
9 × 11 = ?
9 × 11 = 99
11 × ? = 66
11 × 6 = 66
? × 11 = 55
5 × 11 = 55
11 × 11 = ?
11 × 11 = 121
11 × 12 = ?
11 × 12 = 132
11 × ? = 110
11 × 10 = 110
? × 11 = 88
8 × 11 = 88
2 × 11 = ?
2 × 11 = 22

Division facts for the 11s

Dividing a repeating-digit number by 11 is quick: 77 ÷ 11 = 7, and 99 ÷ 11 = 9. For the bigger ones, use the 11s backward: “11 times what is 132?”

11 × 12 = 132
12 × 11 = 132
132 ÷ 12 = 11
132 ÷ 11 = 12

One fact family: two multiplication facts and two division facts

77 ÷ 11 = ?
77 ÷ 11 = 7
132 ÷ 11 = ?
132 ÷ 11 = 12
99 ÷ 11 = ?
99 ÷ 11 = 9
121 ÷ 11 = ?
121 ÷ 11 = 11
44 ÷ 4 = ?
44 ÷ 4 = 11
110 ÷ ? = 10
110 ÷ 11 = 10

Frequently asked questions

What is the trick for the 11 times table?

For 11 × 1 to 11 × 9, write the digit twice: 11 × 6 = 66. For 11 × 10, 11 × 11 and 11 × 12, use ten groups plus one more group: 11 × 12 = 120 + 12 = 132.

What is 11 times 11?

11 × 11 = 121. Ten 11s are 110, plus one more 11 is 121. With the split-and-add trick: 1 and 1, with 1 + 1 = 2 in the middle, makes 121.

What is 11 times 12?

11 × 12 = 132. Ten 12s are 120, plus one more 12 is 132. Or split 1 and 2 and put 1 + 2 = 3 in the middle: 132.

Do kids have to learn the 11 times table?

The Common Core only requires products of one-digit numbers from memory, so the 11s aren't required. Many schools teach them anyway, and they're quick to learn, because most of the table follows the repeating-digit pattern.

Why does the 11 times table pattern stop at 9?

Because 11 times a number is that many tens plus that many ones. Up to 9, each fits in a single place, so you see the digit twice. At 10 and above, the ones spill over into the tens: 11 × 10 is 10 tens and 10 ones, which is 110.

What is the fastest way to learn the 11 times table?

Learn it after the 1–10 tables. Then ten of the twelve facts are already known through the turn-around rule (11 × 7 is 7 × 11), and only 11 × 11 and 11 × 12 are new. Practice those two with the ten-plus-one strategy.
