Table
Usage:
Table [ Addition | Subtraction | Multiplication | Division] Number_1 [, Number_2]
Table
is used to make practice tables for the four arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. An example of an addition table would be:
1 + 1 = 2
1 + 2 = 3
1 + 3 = 4
...
Use the words Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division to determine what arithmetic operation will be represented in the table.
The first number entered determines the base of the table. Using 7, for example,
Table Multiplication 7
returns a table of multiplications on the number 7. If this number is omitted the base will be 1.
The second number entered determines the number of rows in the table. If this number is omitted the table will contain 12 rows.
The rows always start with one (1) operating on the base and increment by one (1), except for Division, explained below. For example, if a base of 8 is entered for an addition table, the first row will be 8 + 1. You cannot make a table starting with 8 + 2, or 8 + 15. If you want a table that includes 8 + 15, you must have at least 15 rows in your table like
Table Addition 8, 15
. Your table defaults to 12 rows.
For division tables, the dividend will increase in each table row by the amount of the divisor. Another way of looking at this is that your first row will always have a quotient of 1, the second row a quotient of 2, the third row a quotient of 3, and so forth. If you make a division table with a base of 3, your table will look like:
3 ÷ 3 = 1
6 ÷ 3 = 2
9 ÷ 3 = 3
...
Try it:
Table Division 3
Examples:
Table Addition
Table Subtraction 3, 10
Table Division
Table Multiplication 9, 14
