Multiplication Table Of 62
The table of 62 is the list of products you get when you multiply 62 by each whole number in turn. Because 62 splits cleanly into 60 and 2, you can rebuild any row from the sixties you already know instead of storing twenty separate answers.

What Is The Table Of 62 In Words?
Reading the table aloud builds the rhythm before the numbers stick.
One times 62 is 62
Two times 62 is 124
Three times 62 is 186
Four times 62 is 248
Five times 62 is 310
Six times 62 is 372
Seven times 62 is 434
Eight times 62 is 496
Nine times 62 is 558
Ten times 62 is 620
What Is The 62 Times Table?
The 62 times table is repeated addition of 62. Each row adds one more group of sixty-two, so the table answers "how much is sixty-two, added to itself, again and again?"
Built from the ground up, the ladder looks like this:
$62$
$62 + 62 = 124$
$62 + 62 + 62 = 186$
$62 + 62 + 62 + 62 = 248$
Multiplication is the shortcut for this stacking, which is why $62 \times 4$ and "four sixty-twos added together" both give 248.
What Are The Multiples Of 62?
The multiples of 62 are the numbers you reach by skip-counting in sixty-twos. The first twenty are:
62, 124, 186, 248, 310, 372, 434, 496, 558, 620, 682, 744, 806, 868, 930, 992, 1054, 1116, 1178, 1240.
Every entry in the table of 62 is a multiple of 62, and every one is even, because 62 itself is even. Watch the units digits fall down the column: 2, 4, 6, 8, 0, then 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 again. That five-step cycle never breaks, so a product of 62 that ends in an odd digit is always wrong.
How To Learn The 62 Times Table (Patterns, Not Memorizing)
Bhanzu teaches the few patterns that generate a table rather than drilling its rows into recall. The table of 62 has fewer factor shortcuts than most, because 62 is just 2 times a prime, so the place-value split does the heavy lifting and you rebuild any row by reasoning. That habit of reaching for structure, not recall, is what algebra later rewards.
Every pattern below comes from how 62 is made: $62 = 60 + 2$ and $62 = 2 \times 31$, where 31 is a prime number.
Pattern 1: Split 62 into 60 and 2. Because $62 = 60 + 2$, multiply each part and add. For $62 \times 7$: $(60 \times 7) + (2 \times 7) = 420 + 14 = 434$. This is the distributive idea you meet again in algebra as $62(a) = 60a + 2a$, and it is the most reliable route for the whole table.
Pattern 2: The 62s are the sixties plus a doubling. The $60 \times n$ part comes straight from the table of 60, and the $2 \times n$ part is just doubling. For $62 \times 8$: $480$ from the sixties, plus $16$ from the doubles, gives 496.
Pattern 3: The 62s are the 31s doubled. Because $62 = 2 \times 31$, every multiple of 62 is double the matching multiple of 31, so twice the 31s lands you on the 62s. For $62 \times 3$: $31 \times 3 = 93$, doubled is 186. Since 31 is prime, this doubling and the 60-plus-2 split are the two clean routes; there is no smaller factor pair to lean on.
Pattern 4: Watch the units digit. The last digit of each product cycles 2, 4, 6, 8, 0. If your answer to $62 \times 6$ ends in anything but 2, recheck it, because $62 \times 6 = 372$.
How Do You Read And Use The Table Of 62?
Read each row left to right: $62 \times 6 = 372$ is "sixty-two multiplied six times gives three hundred seventy-two." The first number is the group size, the second is the count of groups, and the product is the total.
To learn it, recite the rows while rebuilding each one from the 60-plus-2 split, then quiz yourself in a shuffled order so you are reasoning rather than reciting a chant. The split is your safety net, so if a row slips, rebuild it from the sixties you already know.
Where Does The Table Of 62 Appear?
Sixty-two shows up in a surprising place on the calendar: two back-to-back 31-day months, such as July and August, hold $31 + 31 = 62$ days, which is exactly $2 \times 31$. So counting anything daily across such a pair of months runs on this table. It also lives in distance conversion, because 100 kilometres is close to 62 miles, so rough kilometre-to-mile estimates in multiples of a hundred lean on sixty-twos. Anyone totalling equal groups of sixty-two, from day counts to distance estimates, is reading off this table.
Solved Examples Of The Table Of 62
Example 1
What is $62 \times 3$?
Split 62 into 60 and 2.
$60 \times 3 = 180$
$2 \times 3 = 6$
$180 + 6 = 186$
Final answer: $62 \times 3 = 186$.
Example 2 (Wrong path first)
A shelf holds 62 books. How many books are on 4 shelves?
Wrong attempt. The rusher multiplies only the 60 and writes $60 \times 4 = 240$, then stops.
Why it breaks. Each shelf holds two more than sixty, and there are four shelves, so eight extra books are missing from 240.
Correct. Multiply both parts of 62 and add.
$60 \times 4 = 240$
$2 \times 4 = 8$
$240 + 8 = 248$
Final answer: 248 books.
Example 3
What is $62 \times 12$?
Split the multiplier into 10 and 2.
$62 \times 10 = 620$
$62 \times 2 = 124$
$620 + 124 = 744$
Final answer: $62 \times 12 = 744$.
Example 4
$62 \times {?} = 620$.
Divide to find the missing factor.
$620 \div 62 = 10$
Final answer: $62 \times 10 = 620$.
Example 5
A student reads 62 pages a day. How many pages in 5 days?
Split 62 into 60 and 2.
$60 \times 5 = 300$
$2 \times 5 = 10$
$300 + 10 = 310$
Final answer: 310 pages.
What Are Common Mistakes With The Table Of 62?
Mistake 1: Forgetting the second part of the split
Where it slips in: Using the 60-plus-2 method but multiplying only the 60.
Don't do this: Writing $62 \times 4 = 240$, the bare $60 \times 4$ with the twos dropped.
The correct way: Add the second product: $240 + (2 \times 4) = 240 + 8 = 248$.
Mistake 2: Landing on an odd product
Where it slips in: Rushing a row and not checking the final digit against the even cycle.
Don't do this: Writing $62 \times 7 = 432$, which ends in an odd 2-short slip.
The correct way: Every multiple of 62 is even, and the units digits cycle 2, 4, 6, 8, 0; the seventh row is $62 \times 7 = 434$.

Conclusion
The table of 62 is not twenty facts to store — it is one number split into 60 and 2, so the place-value method rebuilds any row from the sixties you already know, and doubling the 31s gives a second clean route. Keep the even units cycle as a quick check, and the larger rows stop feeling large. To take this further with a teacher, explore mental maths for kids, build fluency with speed math, or work one-to-one with an elementary math tutor.
