How to remember the 72 times table
- Split 72 into 70 and 2: 72 × 6 = 70 × 6 + 2 × 6 = 420 + 12 = 432.
- 72 is 4 × 18, so double the 18 times table twice: 18 × 8 = 144, then 144 × 2 = 288, then 288 × 2 = 576. So 72 × 8 = 576.
- Start from 72 × 10 = 720: take 72 away for 72 × 9 = 648, or add it for 72 × 11 = 792.
