Python Program to Print a Multiplication Table

Beginner · Basics

A multiplication table lists a number multiplied by 1, 2, 3 and so on, usually up to 10. This program prints the table of 7 using a for loop with range().

Program

multiplication_table.py
num = 7 # or: num = int(input("Enter a number: "))
print("Multiplication table of", num)
for i in range(1, 11):
print(num, "x", i, "=", num * i)
Output
Multiplication table of 7
7 x 1 = 7
7 x 2 = 14
7 x 3 = 21
7 x 4 = 28
7 x 5 = 35
7 x 6 = 42
7 x 7 = 49
7 x 8 = 56
7 x 9 = 63
7 x 10 = 70

How it works

  1. range(1, 11) gives the numbers 1 to 10, because the end value 11 is not included.
  2. On each pass of the loop, i takes the next value and num * i is the product.
  3. print() puts a space between its items, giving lines like 7 x 3 = 21.

Other ways to write it

Using a while loop

Using a while loop
num = 7
i = 1
while i <= 10:
print(f"{num} x {i:2} = {num * i:3}")
i = i + 1
Output
7 x  1 =   7
7 x  2 =  14
7 x  3 =  21
7 x  4 =  28
7 x  5 =  35
7 x  6 =  42
7 x  7 =  49
7 x  8 =  56
7 x  9 =  63
7 x 10 =  70

The :2 and :3 in the f-string pad the numbers to a fixed width, so the columns line up.

Tables of 1 to 5 in a grid

Tables of 1 to 5 in a grid
for num in range(1, 6):
for i in range(1, 11):
print(f"{num * i:4}", end="")
print() # move to the next line after each table
Output
   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10
   2   4   6   8  10  12  14  16  18  20
   3   6   9  12  15  18  21  24  27  30
   4   8  12  16  20  24  28  32  36  40
   5  10  15  20  25  30  35  40  45  50

A loop inside a loop prints one row per table, and end="" keeps the products of one table on the same line.

Try it yourself

Print the table of 12 from 12 x 1 up to 12 x 20.
