Multiplication Table of 3

Multiplication Table of 3

The "table of 3 multiplication" shows what happens when you add the number 3 to itself a certain number of times. It's essentially counting by threes. For example, $3\times 4$ means you add 3 four times ($3+3+3+3=12$).

Multiplication	Result	Description
$3\times 0$	0	Three groups of zero is zero.
$3\times 1$	3	Three groups of one is three. (3 added one time)
$3\times 2$	6	Three groups of two is six. (3 added two times)
$3\times 3$	9	Three groups of three is nine. (3 added three times)
$3\times 4$	12	Three groups of four is twelve. (3 added four times)
$3\times 5$	15	Three groups of five is fifteen. (3 added five times)
$3\times 6$	18	Three groups of six is eighteen. (3 added six times)
$3\times 7$	21	Three groups of seven is twenty-one. (3 added seven times)
$3\times 8$	24	Three groups of eight is twenty-four. (3 added eight times)
$3\times 9$	27	Three groups of nine is twenty-seven. (3 added nine times)
$3\times 10$	30	Three groups of ten is thirty. (3 added ten times)
$3\times 11$	33	Three groups of eleven is thirty-three. (3 added eleven times)
$3\times 12$	36	Three groups of twelve is thirty-six. (3 added twelve times)

Key Takeaway:

A common trick for the 3 times table (up to $3\times 10$) is that the sum of the digits of the product is also a multiple of 3. For example, for $3\times 4=12$, $1+2=3$. For $3\times 7=21$, $2+1=3$. For $3\times 10=30$, $3+0=3$. This is a property of all multiples of 3.
