Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 1: 0.
- Every answer is even, because 1240 is even.
- Every answer ends in 0 or 5.
- Split it into tens and ones: 1240 × k = 1240 × k + 0 × k.
- Each answer is 1240 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 1240.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 1240 times table is double the answer in the 620 times table: 620 × 6 = 3,720, so 1240 × 6 = 7,440. To multiply 1240 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 1240 away: 12,400 − 1240 = 11,160. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 1240: 12,400 + 1240 = 13,640. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 1240 → 2,480 → 4,960.
Every multiple of 1240 is at least 1240, so there are none below 100 and 0 below 1,000. A number is in the 1240 times table exactly when it divides by 1240 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 1240 is even, every answer in its table is even, which is a quick way to catch a wrong answer. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 1240 × 10 = 12,400, and 1240 × 100 = 124,000. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 12,400 is 6,200.
Using the 1240 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 1240 × 7 = 8,680, you know 8,680 ÷ 1240 = 7 and 8,680 ÷ 7 = 1240. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Word problems
Times tables are most useful when you can spot them in a question. Try these, then open each one to check:
- A box holds 1240 pencils. How many pencils are in 7 boxes?
Answer
7 × 1240 = 8,680 pencils. - Tickets cost $1240 each. How much do 12 tickets cost?
Answer
12 × $1240 = $14,880. - 9,920 chairs are set out in rows of 1240. How many rows are there?
Answer
9,920 ÷ 1240 = 8 rows. - A plant grows 1240 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 6 weeks?
Answer
6 × 1240 = 7,440 millimetres.
Questions
What is 1240 × 12?
14,880.
What is half of 1240 × 8?
1240 × 8 = 9,920, and half of that is 4,960, which is 1240 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 1240 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 1240 contain nothing.
What is 1240 × 7 and 1240 × 8?
1240 × 7 = 8,680 and 1240 × 8 = 9,920. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 18,600 in the 1240 times table?
Yes: 18,600 ÷ 1240 = 15 with no remainder. 18,601 is not, because dividing it by 1240 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 1240 times table quickly?
Learn it in order first, then use the patterns above and practise mixed questions; a few minutes a day works better than one long session.
