Tricks that help
- Count in 72s: start at 72 and add 72 each time (72, 144, 216, 288, 360…).
- Split 72 into 70 and 2: 72 × 7 = 70 × 7 + 2 × 7 = 490 + 14 = 504.
- 72 is double 36, so double the 36 times table: 36 × 7 = 252, and double 252 is 504.
- 72 × 10 = 720: multiplying by 10 adds a zero to the end.
- Every fact has a twin: 72 × 7 = 7 × 72 = 504. If you know one, you know both.
- The last digits of the first ten answers go 2, 4, 6, 8, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 0.
