Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0.
- Split it into tens and ones: 1243 × k = 1240 × k + 3 × k.
- Each answer is 1243 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 1243.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 1243 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 1243 away: 12,430 − 1243 = 11,187. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 1243: 12,430 + 1243 = 13,673. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 1243 → 2,486 → 4,972.
Every multiple of 1243 is at least 1243, so there are none below 100 and 0 below 1,000. A number is in the 1243 times table exactly when it divides by 1243 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 1243 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 1243 × 1 = 1243 is odd, 1243 × 2 = 2,486 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 1243 × 10 = 12,430, and 1243 × 100 = 124,300. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 12,430 is 6,215.
Using the 1243 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 1243 × 7 = 8,701, you know 8,701 ÷ 1243 = 7 and 8,701 ÷ 7 = 1243. 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:

Answer
8 × 1243 = 9,944 pencils. - Tickets cost $1243 each. How much do 9 tickets cost?
Answer
9 × $1243 = $11,187. - 8,701 chairs are set out in rows of 1243. How many rows are there?
Answer
8,701 ÷ 1243 = 7 rows. - A plant grows 1243 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 12 weeks?
Answer

Questions
What is 1243 × 12?
14,916.
What is half of 1243 × 8?
1243 × 8 = 9,944, and half of that is 4,972, which is 1243 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 1243 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 1243 contain nothing.
What is 1243 × 7 and 1243 × 8?
1243 × 7 = 8,701 and 1243 × 8 = 9,944. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 18,645 in the 1243 times table?
Yes: 18,645 ÷ 1243 = 15 with no remainder. 18,646 is not, because dividing it by 1243 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 1243 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.
