Have a look at these timesavers.
All the numbers in the 4 × table are
even - they end with 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8.
You can work out a 4 × table calculation by doubling the number twice.
7 × 4 is the same as 7 × 2 × 2
7 × 2 = 14, then 14 × 2 = 28
Look at the
last 2 digits
of the number you want to find out about. If they are a multiple of
4, then the
whole
number is also a multiple of 4.
Let’s look at the number
116
. This is a multiple of 4 because
16
is in the 4 × table.
You can reverse the calculation if that makes it
easier. Have a look at these coins:
There are 5 piles with 4 coins in each.
This is 5 lots of 4 or 5 × 4.
Count them up - there are 20.
You could also have 4 piles with 5 coins in each:
4 lots of 5 or 4 × 5.
The number of coins is the same.
