The underlying pattern in the 4 multiplication table is that 4 is an even number. So whatever number you multiply 4 with, the answer will always have 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 at the end.

You can view multiplication as telling you how many groups of something you have. So, when you have multiplication of 4, you will have four groups of something. For example, 4 x 3 tells you that you have four groups of 3. To find the answer, you add your groups together. So, 4 x 3 turns into 3 + 3 + 3 + 3, which turns into 12. So, 4 x 3 is equal to 12.

Multiply.
4 x 2

Solution

4 x 2 tells us that we have four groups of 2. To find the answer, we will add the groups together. So, 4 x 2 turns into 2 + 2 + 2 + 2, which turns into 8. So, 4 x 2 is equal to 8.
