Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0.
- Split it into tens and ones: 1247 × k = 1240 × k + 7 × k.
- Each answer is 1247 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 1247.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 1247 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 1247 away: 12,470 − 1247 = 11,223. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 1247: 12,470 + 1247 = 13,717. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 1247 → 2,494 → 4,988.
Every multiple of 1247 is at least 1247, so there are none below 100 and 0 below 1,000. A number is in the 1247 times table exactly when it divides by 1247 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 1247 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 1247 × 1 = 1247 is odd, 1247 × 2 = 2,494 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 1247 × 10 = 12,470, and 1247 × 100 = 124,700. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 12,470 is 6,235.
Using the 1247 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 1247 × 7 = 8,729, you know 8,729 ÷ 1247 = 7 and 8,729 ÷ 7 = 1247. 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 1247 pencils. How many pencils are in 8 boxes?
Answer
8 × 1247 = 9,976 pencils. - Tickets cost $1247 each. How much do 8 tickets cost?
Answer
8 × $1247 = $9,976. - 11,223 chairs are set out in rows of 1247. How many rows are there?
Answer
11,223 ÷ 1247 = 9 rows. - A plant grows 1247 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 7 weeks?
Answer
7 × 1247 = 8,729 millimetres.
Questions
What is 1247 × 12?
14,964.
What is half of 1247 × 8?
1247 × 8 = 9,976, and half of that is 4,988, which is 1247 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 1247 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 1247 contain nothing.
What is 1247 × 7 and 1247 × 8?
1247 × 7 = 8,729 and 1247 × 8 = 9,976. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 18,705 in the 1247 times table?
Yes: 18,705 ÷ 1247 = 15 with no remainder. 18,706 is not, because dividing it by 1247 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 1247 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.
