Reverse Multiplication Table Using For loop in Python

A multiplication table of any number can be printed using the For loop in Python. We can also print the multiplication table in reverse order using a for loop in Python. In this article, we will see how we can print the multiplication table in reverse order using a for loop in Python.

Example:

Input: TableNumber = 2
Output:
Printing Multiplication Table of 2 in reverse order
10 * 2  = 20
9 * 2  = 18
8 * 2  = 16
7 * 2  = 14
6 * 2  = 12
5 * 2  = 10
4 * 2  = 8
3 * 2  = 6
2 * 2  = 4
1 * 2  = 2

Reverse Multiplication Table Using For loop in Python

Below are some of the ways by which we can print the multiplication table in reverse order using for loop in Python:

• By taking user input
• By predefined multiplier

Reverse Multiplication Table by Getting User-Defined Multiplier

In this example, the code first prompts the user for a number, then prints its multiplication table in reverse order, starting from 10 down to 1.

Python3

print("Enter the number of multiplication table to print:")

# Getting the number of multiplication table from user
tableNumber = int(input())

print("Printing Multiplication Table of", tableNumber, "in Reverse Order")

# Using For loop to print Multiplication table from number 10 to 1 of user input number
for num in range(10, 0, -1):
    print(num, "*", tableNumber, " =", (num * tableNumber))

Output:

Enter the Number of Multiplication Table to Print:
5
Printing Multiplication Table of 5 in Reverse Order:
10 * 5  = 50
9 * 5  = 45
8 * 5  = 40
7 * 5  = 35
6 * 5  = 30
5 * 5  = 25
4 * 5  = 20
3 * 5  = 15
2 * 5  = 10
1 * 5  = 5

Reverse Multiplication Table of Pre-defined Multiplier Number

In this example, the code generates the multiplication table of 2 in reverse order. It starts by setting the multiplier to 2, then uses a for loop to iterate through numbers from 10 down to 1. For each number, it multiplies it by the multiplier and prints the result, creating a descending table of multiplication facts for 2.

Python3

multiplier = 2

# for loop running from 10 to 1 in reverse
for num in range(10, 0, -1):
    print(num, "*", multiplier, "=", (num*multiplier))

Output:

10 * 2 = 20
9 * 2 = 18
8 * 2 = 16
7 * 2 = 14
6 * 2 = 12
5 * 2 = 10
4 * 2 = 8
3 * 2 = 6
2 * 2 = 4
1 * 2 = 2
