Fascinating Fact:

The weight of a newborn elephant calf at 100 kg is about sixteen times heavier than a newborn human baby at 6 kg.

In KS3 Maths, the 16 times table helps you scale numbers quickly, estimate, and spot patterns in place value. Knowing 16× facts supports mental arithmetic, fractions with powers of two, and area and ratio problems.

  • Multiple: A number in the 16 times table (16, 32, 48, 64, …).
  • Factor: A whole number that divides another exactly (for 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16).
  • Product: The result of a multiplication, e.g., 16 × 7 = 112.
What is the quickest way to work out the 16 times table?

Use doubling: 16 × n = 8 × n doubled. You can also do 16 × n = (4 × n) doubled, then doubled again. These patterns are fast and reliable.

How can I tell if a number is a multiple of 16?

A number is a multiple of 16 if it is divisible by 16. A quick check is that the last four binary bits are zero, or that it is divisible by 2 four times.

Where do we use 16 in real life?

You’ll meet 16 in computing (base-2 powers), storage sizes, grids, pixels, and area scaling. Multiplying by 16 is common when doubling lengths twice.
