Why Is It Important to Learn the 31 Times Table
The 31 times table is the first prime number times table beyond 30, and since 31 is prime, there's no smaller table to double or triple into it.

This is the same split-and-add approach used for other primes in this range, and it stays reliable no matter how large the times table gets.
