C++ program to print the multiplication table of a number

In this article, you will learn and get code to print a multiplication table of numbers using a C++ program. Here is the list of programs for printing the multiplication table:

What is a multiplication table?

A multiplication table shows a list of multiples of a particular number, from 1 to 10. For instance, the multiplication table for 3 is:

3 * 1 = 3
3 * 2 = 6
3 * 3 = 9
3 * 4 = 12
3 * 5 = 15
3 * 6 = 18
3 * 7 = 21
3 * 8 = 24
3 * 9 = 27
3 * 10 = 30

Note: Typically, the list of multiples is from 1 to 12. But in this article, we've created all the programs for printing the multiplication table based on multiples from 1 to 10 only.

Print Multiplication Table of 2 in C++

Let's start with the very first program in this article, which prints the multiplication table of 2:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int num=2, i, res;
    for(i=1; i<=10; i++)
    {
        res = num*i;
        cout<<num<<" * "<<i<<" = "<<res;
        cout<<endl;
    }
    cout<<endl;
    return 0;
}

This program was built and runs under the Code::Blocks IDE. Here is its sample output:

C++ program print table of number

The dry run of this program goes like this:

In C++, print a multiplication table for any given number

To print a table of any given number in C++ programming, you have to ask the user to enter the number. Then start multiplying that number from 1 to 10, one by one, and display the multiplication result at the time of multiplying, as shown here in the following program.

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int num, i, res;
    cout<<"Enter the Number: ";
    cin>>num;
    for(i=1; i<=10; i++)
    {
        res = num*i;
        cout<<num<<" * "<<i<<" = "<<res;
        cout<<endl;
    }
    cout<<endl;
    return 0;
}

Here is the initial output produced by this C++ program:

print table of any number c++

Now supply the input, say 5, and press the ENTER key to print its table as shown in the snapshot given below:

print table of given number c++

Print the multiplication table from 1 to 10 in C++

This program prints tables from 1 to 10. That is, first table 1 gets printed, then table 2 gets printed, and so on up to table 10:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int num, i, j, res;
    cout<<"-----------Table from 1 to 10--------\n\n";
    for(i=1; i<=10; i++)
    {
        num = i;
        cout<<"Table of "<<num<<": ";
        for(j=1; j<=10; j++)
        {
            res = num*j;
            cout<<res<<"  ";
        }
        cout<<endl;
    }
    cout<<endl;
    return 0;
}

Here is the sample output produced by this program:

print table from 1 to 10 c++

In C++, print a Multiplication Table within a Specific Range

This program allows the user to enter a range and print a table with all of the numbers in that range. For example, if the user enters a range of 3 and 15, then a table of all numbers from 3 to 15 gets printed.

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int numOne, numTwo, num, i, j, res;
    cout<<"Enter the Range: ";
    cin>>numOne>>numTwo;
    cout<<"--------Table from "<<numOne<<" to "<<numTwo<<"--------\n\n";
    for(i=numOne; i<=numTwo; i++)
    {
        num = i;
        cout<<"Table of "<<num<<": ";
        for(j=1; j<=10; j++)
        {
            res = num*j;
            cout<<res<<"  ";
        }
        cout<<endl;
    }
    cout<<endl;
    return 0;
}

Here's an example run with user input: 3 for the first number and 15 for the second:

print table in given range c++

What if the user enters two numbers in such a way that the first number is greater than the second?
To solve this problem, use this program instead of the previous one:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int numOne, numTwo, num, i, j, res;
    cout<<"Enter the Range: ";
    cin>>numOne>>numTwo;
    if(numTwo>numOne)
    {
        cout<<"--------Table from "<<numOne<<" to "<<numTwo<<"--------\n\n";
        for(i=numOne; i<=numTwo; i++)
        {
            num = i;
            cout<<"Table of "<<num<<": ";
            for(j=1; j<=10; j++)
            {
                res = num*j;
                cout<<res<<"  ";
            }
            cout<<endl;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        cout<<"--------Table from "<<numTwo<<" to "<<numOne<<"--------\n\n";
        for(i=numTwo; i<=numOne; i++)
        {
            num = i;
            cout<<"Table of "<<num<<": ";
            for(j=1; j<=10; j++)
            {
                res = num*j;
                cout<<res<<"  ";
            }
            cout<<endl;
        }
    }
    cout<<endl;
    return 0;
}

Here is a sample run with user input, the first number being 20 and the second being 6:
