Every educated person, who knows how to mulitply quickly in his head, will have an advantage over those who don't. It is an essential life skill. Learning your tables by rote -- memorizing -- ensures that you can compute quickly and accurately and frees your mind to tackle more complex operations and concepts.
You cannot go through life hoping that a calculator will be handy every time you need to multiply two numbers or figure out a discount on a sale item or determine whether you've been overcharged for 17 gallons of gas at $3.05 a gallon.
Even if you have a calculator, knowing how to multiply in your head can help to recognize fat finger errors (when you accidentally hit the wrong button).
When trying to find factors, knowing a multiplication table will allow you to just see the factors. If you don't recognize factors, then you just have to do trial and error.
It isn't necessary, nor particularly useful. Once you know the multiplication tables for one-digit numbers, you can do multiplication on paper for larger numbers. The time spent to memorize such multiplication tables for larger numbers would be better spent learning more advanced math concepts.
When I was growing up, we had to memorize the full set of multiplication tables from 1 to 12. Multiplication Tables are standard 1 to 12 (not 1 to 100). Students must learn the times tables for 1 to 12, before they can apply those tables for 13 through to any number.You can find Multiplication Tables 1-12 online or as charts for sale. Or, do what we did as kids: make your own chart and color or decorate the chart.
The best way to memorize multiplication tables is just to keep repeating them over and over, I'm afraid. There's no creative or other method that is better than simple repetition. Here's a link to show you how to make a study deck to help you memorize facts like this!
the 12 tables refers to the multiplication table that goes up to the number 12
I hate to keep stressing this, but it's just too important. Memorize your Multiplication Tables. Then you can just recognize that 6 x 8 = 48. 6 = 2 x 3 and 8 = 2 x 2 x 2.

The multiplication table as we know it today was not invented by a single individual, but rather developed over time through mathematical advancements. The concept of multiplication itself dates back to ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and Babylonians. The modern layout of the multiplication table, with rows and columns listing the products of numbers 1-10, became standardized in the 19th century as part of elementary mathematics education.
Multiplication table has its origin from simple mathematical table.Mathematical tables can be traced backed to 1900 BC in the Babylonian mathematics in the clay tablets found one of the most important tablet is named as Plimpton322.Then the Greek Astronomer Hipparchus used Trignometric Tables those can be the multiplication table in some sense.Those may be the Greeks who developed multiplication tables on road around 200BC. Pythagoras.
Memorizing is best for multiplication. You should be able to recite all of the multiplication tables from memory in less than five minutes so that you can use those facts to do the harder math that is coming up. Make or buy some multiplication flashcards to help you memorize them, write them down until you remember them, and/or recite them out loud to someone who will tell you if you are right.
