Explanation & Strategy:
Multiplying by 5 is one of the easiest multiplication facts to learn because of a simple pattern:
➤ Pattern for Multiplying by 5:
- If you multiply 5 by an
even number → the answer ends in
0.
- If you multiply 5 by an
odd number → the answer ends in
5.
Examples:
- 5 × 4 = 20 → even → ends in 0
- 5 × 7 = 35 → odd → ends in 5
Also, you can think of multiplying by 5 as
half of multiplying by 10.
> 💡 Example:
> 5 × 6 = ?
> Think: 10 × 6 = 60 → half of that is 30 → so 5 × 6 = 30
This trick works because 5 is half of 10!
