Table of 1

A table containing multiples of 1 is known as a multiplication table of 1 or a one times table. The multiples of one are produced either by constantly adding one to itself or by multiplying one by other natural numbers such as 1, 2, 3, 4, and so forth. For instance, the outcome of 1 multiplied by 3 is 3. When the number 1 is added repeatedly three times, the result is 1 + 1 + 1.

Tips to Memorise Table of 1

• To memorise the table of 1 easily, one must regularly practice the table by effective recitation.

• One other way of memorising the table is by writing down the multiplication table of 54 from 1 to 20, like 1 time two is 2, 1 time three is 3 and 1 times four is 4 and so on.

• The easy way of remembering the table is repetitive addition. We add the same number repeatedly to the last number to get the next multiple. For instance, 1 + 1 = 2, which gives us 1 times 2, now we add 2 + 1 = 3, which gives 1 times 3.

• One observable pattern in the table of 1 is that the consecutive multiple has an increment.

Solved Examples

1. A student wants to distribute 1 chocolate each to her classmates in a class of 45. How many chocolates did she distribute?

Solution:

Total number of classmates is given as 45.

The number of chocolate distributed to one student is 1.

Therefore the number of chocolates distributed is 1 x 45 = 45 chocolates.

2. What number do we get when 1 is added 15 times?

Solution:

Adding 1 15 times gives us,

1+ 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 15

Therefore the number is 15.

3. What is 6 more than thrice the 11th multiple of 1?

Solution:

From the table of 1, the 11th multiple of 1 is 11.

Thrice of the 11th multiple is 11 x 3 = 33.

And 6 more than thrice the 11th multiple = 11 + 6 = 17.

4. Ruby reads 1 page of her journal every day. If there are a total of 60 pages in her journal, determine the number of days in which she completes reading the journal.

Solution:

Number of page(s) read in a day = 1.

The total number of pages = 60.

Therefore, the total number of days taken to complete the journal is 60/1, which gives us 60 days.
