Table of 240

Introduction

We need a multiplication table of 240 for huge and complex problems. We cannot learn the tables of every number. We use some tricks to learn the table or solve problems quickly and easily. Multiplication Tables are used to teach mathematics to students in a playful manner. Multiplication or product of numbers can be shown as an addition in this way:

240 \times 4=960=240+240+240+240

This shows that the product of a number any number of times is an addition of the same number the given number of times. So, we can say that basically, the multiplication technique is generated through addition. We can check multiplication by adding the number given the number of times. In primary classes, we are given questions like this, to multiply the two numbers and verify if the answer is correct or not.

Detailed Explanation

As we already discussed, we need some tricks to quickly solve the questions of multiplication. So, here is the trick. 240 = 24 × 10 i.e., if we know the table of 24 then we don’t need to learn the table of 240. We just need to multiply the product of the table of 24 by 10 to get the table of 240 or we can just add a zero after the last digit of the products of 24’s table.

For example-

24 × 3 = 72

Then, 240 \times\ 3 = 24 \times\ 3 \times\ 10 = 720

Table of 240

Given below is a table of 240 up to 20 times shown by both addition and product method-

Given below is a table of 240 up to 20 times:

5 Solved Problems

1. Calculate the number of mangoes on a tree, if there are 240 branches in a tree and each branch has 2 mangoes on itself.

Ans. Given the number of branches in a tree = 240

1 branch = 2 mangoes

So, there are a total of 240 × 2 mangoes.

According to the table of 240,

240 \times\ 2 = 480

So, 480 is the total number of mangoes on the tree.

2. How many times should 240 be multiplied to get 2880?

Ans. According to the table,

240 × 12 = 2880

240 \times\ 12 = 2,880

So, 12 is the answer.

3. Calculate 240 × 24.

Ans. 240 \times\ 24 = 5760

4. How many papers are to be checked if there are a total of 300 students in a class if each student has to give 5 papers but only 240 students gave the paper?

Ans. The total number of students in a class = 300

1 student = 5 papers

But, only 240 students have given the papers.

So, the total number of papers is-

240 \times\ 5 = 1200

5. How much is the product of 240 × 12 × 2 × 10?

Ans. \begin{array}{l}

240 \times 24 \times 10=240 \times 240 \\

240 \times 240=57600

\end{array}
