Tips to memorise the Table of 68
A quick way to memorise the table of 68 is by writing down the table from 1 to 20, such as 68 times 4 is 272, 68 times 5 is 340 and 68 times 6 is 408.
One other way of learning the table of 68 is by skip counting and adding. We add the same number with the product of the previous sum of numbers. For instance, 68 + 68 is 136, which is 68 x 2. To calculate the next value, we add 68 to 136, giving us 204, that is 68 x 3.
Easy method of obtaining the table of 68 is that we write the table of 60 from 1 to 10 and the table of 8 from 1 to 10 and add both of them. It is as shown in the table:
Table of 60 | Add | Table of 8 | Equals | Table of 68 |
60 x 1 = 60 | + | 8 x 1 = 8 | = | 68 |
60 x 2 = 120 | + | 8 x 2 = 16 | = | 136 |
60 x 3 = 180 | + | 8 x 3 = 24 | = | 204 |
60 x 4 = 240 | + | 8 x 4 = 32 | = | 272 |
60 x 5 = 300 | + | 8 x 5 = 40 | = | 340 |
