Hand a Class 5 kid 19 × 7 and see what happens. Usually there’s a pause, then a squint, then “can I use my fingers?” Fair enough. Nobody chants the table of 19 in school. But 19 is only one less than 20, and that one fact makes the whole table far less scary than it looks. Below you’ll find the full chart, a few tricks that actually work, a divisibility check, and a short worksheet. Teachers use all of this with students from Classes 4 to 8.
Why Bother Learning the Table of 19?
Most of us stop at 10. That’s where school drilling ends, so anything bigger feels like extra credit.
But it pays off. Once 19 is stuck in your head, division gets easier, fractions stop being a drag, and percentages feel lighter. In an Olympiad or any timed exam, the student who doesn’t stop to work out every product saves real minutes. And there’s a side effect nobody mentions: numbers stop looking random. Shop bills and measurements don’t send you hunting for a calculator.
Table of 19: 19 × 1 through 19 × 20
Let’s start with the first ten.
Multiplication | Result |
19 × 1 | 19 |
19 × 2 | 38 |
19 × 3 | 57 |
19 × 4 | 76 |
19 × 5 | 95 |
19 × 6 | 114 |
19 × 7 | 133 |
19 × 8 | 152 |
19 × 9 | 171 |
19 × 10 | 190 |
Some exams go up to 20, so here’s the rest.
Multiplication | Result |
19 × 11 | 209 |
19 × 12 | 228 |
19 × 13 | 247 |
19 × 14 | 266 |
19 × 15 | 285 |
19 × 16 | 304 |
19 × 17 | 323 |
19 × 18 | 342 |
19 × 19 | 361 |
19 × 20 | 380 |
Don’t just read it silently. Say it out loud, the way you once did with the table of 7. “Nineteen ones are nineteen, nineteen twos are thirty-eight, nineteen threes are fifty-seven…” It feels a bit silly at first. It works anyway.
Show Me the Table of 19 up to 12
Plenty of textbooks stop at 12, so this is probably the version you need before a class test.
- 19 × 1 = 19
- 19 × 2 = 38
- 19 × 3 = 57
- 19 × 4 = 76
- 19 × 5 = 95
- 19 × 6 = 114
- 19 × 7 = 133
- 19 × 8 = 152
- 19 × 9 = 171
- 19 × 10 = 190
- 19 × 11 = 209
- 19 × 12 = 228
Cover the answers with your hand and try all twelve. If you get through without stopping, you’re in good shape. If you get stuck at 19 × 7 or 19 × 8, don’t worry, that’s where most people trip.
List the Multiples of 19
A multiple is just what you get when you multiply 19 by 1, 2, 3 and so on. Or think of it as starting at 19 and adding 19 again and again.
The first twenty: 19, 38, 57, 76, 95, 114, 133, 152, 171, 190, 209, 228, 247, 266, 285, 304, 323, 342, 361, 380.
A few things jump out. Each of these divides by 19 with nothing left over. The list also alternates between odd and even: 19 is odd, 38 is even, 57 is odd, 76 is even. And since 190 and 380 end in zero, they’re multiples of 10 as well.
Multiplication Table for 19: Easy Tricks to Memorise
Pure cramming is the slow route here. These tricks save a lot of effort.
Trick 1: Go to 20, then take one off. This is the best one. Because 19 = 20 − 1, multiply by 20 first, then subtract the number once.
- 19 × 6 → (20 × 6) − 6 = 120 − 6 = 114
- 19 × 8 → (20 × 8) − 8 = 160 − 8 = 152
- 19 × 13 → (20 × 13) − 13 = 260 − 13 = 247
It works for any number, even ones far beyond the table.
Trick 2: Watch the last digit. Look at how the answers end: 19, 38, 57, 76, 95, 114, 133, 152, 171, 190. The units digit drops by one every time: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. Then it starts over, so 209 ends in 9 and 228 ends in 8. Know the last digit first and you’ve already done half the work.
Trick 3: Keep adding 19. Adding 19 in your head is clumsy, so add 20 and step back by 1.
- 19 + 19 = 38
- 38 + 20 − 1 = 57
- 57 + 20 − 1 = 76
Trick 4: Build from what you know. Once a few answers are in your head, use them to find others.
- 19 × 4 = 76, so 19 × 8 = 76 × 2 = 152
- 19 × 3 = 57, so 19 × 6 = 57 × 2 = 114
- 19 × 5 = 95, so 19 × 10 = 95 × 2 = 190
Trick 5: Learn it in small bites. Please don’t try the whole table in one evening. It won’t last. Take 19 × 1 to 19 × 5 today, say it aloud, then write it from memory. Tomorrow, do 19 × 6 to 19 × 10. Ten minutes a day beats an hour the night before the test.
Divisibility Check for 19
How do you know if a big number is a multiple of 19? Chop off the last digit, double it, and add it to what’s left. If the answer is a multiple of 19, so is the number you started with.
Try 361. Drop the 1, and you have 36. Double the 1 to get 2. Then 36 + 2 = 38, which is 19 × 2. So 361 is a multiple of 19. In fact it’s 19 × 19.
Division Facts from the Table of 19
Every multiplication fact has a division fact tucked inside it, so you’re learning two things at once.
- 19 × 5 = 95, so 95 ÷ 19 = 5
- 19 × 9 = 171, so 171 ÷ 19 = 9
- 19 × 14 = 266, so 266 ÷ 19 = 14 and 266 ÷ 14 = 19
Where Do We Use the Table of 19?
More often than you’d guess. A notebook costs ₹19 and you buy seven? That’s 19 × 7 = ₹133. A box holds 19 pencils and the shop has twelve boxes? 19 × 12 = 228 pencils. A bus crawls along at 19 km an hour for eight hours? It covers 19 × 8 = 152 km.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
The biggest one is forgetting to subtract. A student multiplies by 20, feels pleased with themselves, and writes that down. Don’t forget to take the number away once.
Another is mixing up neighbours. 19 × 6 is 114 and 19 × 7 is 133, and people swap them all the time. Check the last digit (4 and 3) and you’ll catch it quickly.
The third is easy to miss: never going back to the table. Learn it on Monday, ignore it all week, and it’s gone by Friday. Five minutes a day keeps it fresh.
Conclusion
The table of 19 doesn’t have to be a struggle. Lean on the 20-minus-1 shortcut, watch the last digit fall, and say a few lines aloud each day. Keep the chart nearby, work through the worksheet, and before long the whole table will be yours.
Frequently Asked Questions
19 × 12 = 228.
Multiply by 20, then subtract the number. One hard sum turns into two easy ones.
Yes. Only 1 and 19 divide it evenly.
Most schools stop at 10 or 12. Going up to 20 isn’t required, but it really helps with mental maths and competitive exams.
