How to Learn the 23 Times Table Easily

1. Use the “20 + 3” trick

Since:
23 = 20 + 3
You can calculate:
23 × n = (20 × n) + (3 × n)

This makes the math simpler!

2. Look for ending-number pattern

The last digits cycle irregularly, which helps kids sharpen pattern recognition.
Examples:
23 → ends with 3
46 → ends with 6
69 → ends with 9
92 → ends with 2

Spotting these helps kids memorize faster.

3. Practice skip counting

Skip count by 23s:
23, 46, 69, 92, 115, 138, …
This builds rhythm and confidence.

4. Real-life application

23 often appears in:
• Sports jersey numbers
• Calendar dates
• Simple grouping problems

Connecting math to real life helps it stick.

Fun Facts About the Number 23

1. 23 is the Smallest Odd Prime from Consecutive Digits

23 is the smallest odd prime number formed by two consecutive digits (2 followed by 3).

2. 23! Has Exactly 23 Digits

The factorial 23! = 25,852,016,738,884,976,640,000 has precisely 23 digits. This is extremely rare — most n! have either more or fewer than n digits.

3. 23 is the Longest Possible Repeating Decimal for Its Size

1/23 has a repeating decimal with period 22:
1 ÷ 23 = 0.0434782608695652173913…
22 is the maximum possible period length for a prime p (which is at most p−1), so 23 achieves the longest possible cycle.

FAQs about 23 Times Table

What are the factors of 23?

The factors of 21 are 1 and 23.

What are the first 12 multiples of 23?

23 × 1–12:
23, 46, 69, 92, 115, 138, 161, 184, 207, 230, 253, 276
(Quick memory trick: after 115 everything just adds 23 each time.)

How do I quickly calculate 23 × 23 (23²)?

Two tricks: (20 + 3)² = 20² + 2×20×3 + 3² = 400 + 120 + 9 = 529
23 × 20 = 460, then add one more 23 → 460 + 23 = 483 + 46 = 529
Answer: 529 (also a palindrome!)

Is there a finger trick for the 23 times table?

Yes (popular in speed math): Hold both hands up.
For 23 × 7, count 7 fingers from the left (including the thumb as 1).
The touched finger separates: fingers to the left of it = tens (×10), fingers to the right = units (×3), plus the touched finger ×20.
Example 23 × 7 → 4 fingers left (40), 6 fingers right (18), touched finger adds 20 → 40 + 18 + 20 = 138.
