Table of 3

Table of 3 is a list of multiples of 3 arranged in increasing order. Conventionally, table of 3 contains the first ten multiples of the three. Table of 3 is also called Times Table of 3 and multiplication table of 3. Learn table of 3 from the chart given below.

Multiplication Table of 3

Table of 3 or multiplication table of 3 is one of the fundamental maths tables. This table forms the basis of the calculation. Although table 3 contains only the first ten multiples of 3, we will learn the first twenty multiples of three to stay ahead of the competition.

Table of 3 from 1 to 10

The first ten multiples of 3 are tabulated below:

3 × 1	=	3
3 × 2	=	6
3 × 3	=	9
3 × 4	=	12
3 × 5	=	15
3 × 6	=	18
3 × 7	=	21
3 × 8	=	24
3 × 9	=	27
3 × 10	=	30

Table of 3 from 11 to 20

The next 10 multiples of 3 i.e. from 11 to 20 are given as follows:

3 × 11	=	33
3 × 12	=	36
3 × 13	=	39
3 × 14	=	42
3 × 15	=	45
3 × 16	=	48
3 × 17	=	51

How to Read Table of 3?

Let’s now see how to read the table of 3:

• 3 Ones are 3
• 3 Twos are 6
• 3 Threes are 9
• 3 Fours are 12
• 3 Fives are 15
• 3 Sixes are 18
• 3 Sevens are 21
• 3 Eights are 24
• 3 Nines are 27
• 3 Tens are 30

Times Table 3 as Addition

We know that multiplication can be expressed as form of repeated addition. We can get the next multiple of 3, by adding 3 in the previous multiple of 3. Similarly, we can add 3, n times to get its nth multiple. For Example, 3 × 5 can be written as 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3. We can prove this as follows:

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 3 × 1 + 3 × 1 + 3 × 1 + 3 × 1 + 3 × 1

= 3(1 + 1+ 1 + 1+ 1) [using the distributive property of multiplication]

= 3(5)

= 15

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15

Similarly, the table given below represents the table of 3 in addition form.

3 × 1	=	3	=	3
3 × 2	=	3+3	=	6
3 × 3	=	3+3+3	=	9
3 × 4	=	3+3+3+3	=	12
3 × 5	=	3+3+3+3+3	=	15
3 × 6	=	3+3+3+3+3+3	=	18
3 × 7	=	3+3+3+3+3+3+3	=	21
3 × 8	=	3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3	=	24
3 × 9	=	3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3	=	27
3 × 10	=	3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3	=	30

Tips to Learn 3 Times Table

The multiplication table of 3 is a basic table. It easy to memorize, but there is a pattern that it follows. Each multiple increases by 3 so it can be learned by skip counting of 3. The multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30.

The last digits of these multiples always repeat and create a pattern. Observe the last digit of the multiples which are 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0, then again the cycle repeats as, 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0, and it continues like this. This can help in memorizing the 3 times table.

Solved Examples 3 Times Table

Example 1: If Ravi ate 3 almonds a day for 3 consecutive days then the total almonds eaten by him in 3 days.

Solution:

Ravi ate almonds in a day = 3

No. of days he ate almonds = 3

Total almonds eaten by the Kabir = 3 × 3 = 9{Using table of 3}

Total Almonds eaten by Karan is 9

Example 2: If Shivam collects 3 marbles in a day then at the end of a week how much marble he has.

Solution:

Shivam collects marbels in a day = 3 marbles

Days in a week = 7 days

Total marble he had after a week = 7×3 = 21 marbles

Thus, the total marbel he has after one week is 21.

Example 3: Using the table of 3 simplify 3 times 4 plus 3 times 2.

Solution:

By studying the table of Three we know that,

3 times 4 = 3 × 4 = 12

3 times 2 = 3 × 2 = 6

Now,

3 times 4 plus 3 times 2 = 3 × 4 + 3 × 2 = 12 + 6 = 18

Example 4: Using the table of 3 simplify 3 times 4 minus 3 times 3.

Solution:

By studying the table of Three we know that,

3 times 4 = 3 × 4 = 12

3 times 3 = 3 × 3 = 9

Now,

3 times 4 minus 3 times 3 = 3 × 4 – 3 × 3 = 12 – 9 = 3
