Table of 4 with Example and FAQs

Table of 4

To obtain the 4 times table we start with 4 = 4 × 1.

Then we keep on adding 4 to the previous result each time as follows:

4 + 4 = 8 = 4 × 2

8 + 4 = 12 = 4 × 3

12 + 4 = 16 = 4 × 4

16 + 4 = 20 = 4 × 5

20 + 4 = 24 = 4 × 6

24 + 4 = 28 = 4 × 7

28 + 4 = 32 = 4 × 8

32 + 4 = 36 = 4 × 9

36 + 4 = 40 = 4 × 10, and so on.

Memorizing tables of various numbers gives an added advantage in dealing with problems related to multiplications.

Tips and Tricks

The table follows a pattern where the digit at the unit’s place follows a sequence 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and then it repeats in the same order.

Examples

Example 1: Ravi has to attend classes every {\text{4}}^{\text{th}} day, his classes are starting from the {\text{4}}^{\text{th}} of November. With the help of the 4’s table, determine for how many days will he attend the classes in the month of November.

Solution:

It is given that the classes start from {\text{4}}^{\text{th}} November.

There are 30 days in the month. Hence, he will attend classes till {\text{28}}^{\text{th}} November for the first month.

Using 4’s table 4 × 7 = 28.

Hence, Ravi will attend a total of 7 classes in the month of November.

Example 2: Komal wants to distribute toffees to 12 of her classmates, she wants to give 4 toffees to each person. How many toffees should she buy? 

Solution:

It has been given that she wants to give 4 toffees each to 12 of her classmates.

∴ Komal needs to buy 4 × 12 = 48 toffees.
