Multiplication Table of 24
The 24 times table is the list of products you get when you multiply 24 by each whole number in turn. Because $24 = 20 + 4$, every row can be rebuilt from two tables you already know: the 20s and the 4s.

What Is the 24 Times Table?
The 24 times table is repeated addition of 24. Each row adds one more group of twenty-four, so the table answers "how much is twenty-four, added to itself, again and again?"
Built from the ground up, the ladder looks like this:
$24$
$24 + 24 = 48$
$24 + 24 + 24 = 72$
$24 + 24 + 24 + 24 = 96$
Multiplication is the shortcut for this stacking, which is why $24 \times 4$ and "four twenty-fours added together" both give 96.
Multiples of 24
The multiples of 24 are the numbers you reach by skip-counting in twenty-fours. The first twenty multiples are:
24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 192, 216, 240, 264, 288, 312, 336, 360, 384, 408, 432, 456, 480.
Every entry in the 24 times table is a multiple of 24. Each one is even (because 24 is even), and reading down the units digits gives the repeating cycle 4, 8, 2, 6, 0.
Tips and Tricks to Memorize the 24 Times Table
Twenty-four is a larger number, but it breaks apart cleanly. These tricks all reuse smaller tables.
Trick 1: Split 24 as 20 + 4
This is the most powerful route. Write $24 \times n = 20n + 4n$, then add the two parts. For $24 \times 7$: $20 \times 7 = 140$ and $4 \times 7 = 28$, so $140 + 28 = 168$.
Trick 2: Double the 12 times table
Since $24 = 12 \times 2$, every multiple of 24 is double the matching multiple of 12. For $24 \times 6$: $12 \times 6 = 72$, doubled is 144.
Trick 3: Watch the units-digit cycle
The units digits run 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and then repeat. If a recalled product ends in any other digit, it is wrong on sight, a fast self-check.
Trick 4: Triple the 8 times table
Because $24 = 8 \times 3$, you can also take the 8s and triple them. For $24 \times 5$: $8 \times 5 = 40$, tripled is 120.
How to Read and Use the 24 Times Table
Read each row left to right: $24 \times 6 = 144$ is "twenty-four multiplied six times gives one hundred forty-four." The first number is the group size, the second is the count of groups, and the product is the total.
To learn it, chant the first ten multiples until the sequence flows, then shuffle the order and quiz yourself so you are recalling facts rather than reciting a list. The $20n + 4n$ split is your safety net for any row you forget, so derive it on the spot instead of guessing.
Where the 24 Times Table Appears
Twenty-four is everywhere a day is measured: 24 hours in a day means the table of 24 counts hours across several days, so 3 days is $24 \times 3 = 72$ hours. It also rules gold purity (24 carats is pure gold), the dozen-of-dozens used in packing (two dozen is 24), and any carton built around two dozen units, so anyone scheduling shifts or converting days to hours is reading off this table.
Solved Examples
Example 1
What is $24 \times 9$?
Split it: $20 \times 9 = 180$ and $4 \times 9 = 36$.
$180 + 36 = 216$
Final answer: $24 \times 9 = 216$.
Example 2 (Wrong path first)
A crate holds 24 bottles. How many bottles are in 5 crates?
Wrong attempt. The memorizer recalls the units-digit cycle, knows the answer ends in 0, and writes 100.
Why it breaks. Four crates already hold $24 \times 4 = 96$, so five crates must exceed 96, and 100 is barely above it, too small for a whole extra crate of 24.
Correct. Split: $20 \times 5 = 100$ and $4 \times 5 = 20$, so $100 + 20 = 120$.
$24 \times 5 = 120$
Final answer: 120 bottles.
Example 3
Find $24 \times 12$.
Double the 12s, or split. Splitting: $20 \times 12 = 240$ and $4 \times 12 = 48$.
$240 + 48 = 288$
Final answer: $24 \times 12 = 288$.
Example 4
$24 \times {?} = 360$.
Divide to find the missing factor: $360 \div 24 = 15$.
Final answer: $24 \times 15 = 360$.
Example 5
A clock's pendulum completes 24 swings a minute. How many swings in 8 minutes?
$24 \times 8 = (20 \times 8) + (4 \times 8) = 160 + 32 = 192$.
Final answer: 192 swings.
Common Mistakes
Mistake 1: Adding only the 20-part of the split
Where it slips in: Using $24n = 20n + 4n$ but stopping after the easy $20n$ step.
Don't do this: Writing $24 \times 8 = 160$ and forgetting the $4 \times 8 = 32$.
The correct way: Always add both pieces, so $160 + 32 = 192$.
Mistake 2: Splitting 24 as 2 and 4 instead of 20 and 4
Where it slips in: The first instinct is to read the digits 2 and 4 separately and add $2n + 4n$.
Don't do this: Treating $24 \times 6$ as $(2 \times 6) + (4 \times 6) = 12 + 24 = 36$.
The correct way: The 2 is a tens digit, so it is $20n + 4n = 120 + 24 = 144$. The place value of the 2 is what the wrong split throws away.
