Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0.
- Split it into tens and ones: 1261 × k = 1260 × k + 1 × k.
- Each answer is 1261 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 1261.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 1261 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 1261 away: 12,610 − 1261 = 11,349. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 1261: 12,610 + 1261 = 13,871. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 1261 → 2,522 → 5,044.
Every multiple of 1261 is at least 1261, so there are none below 100 and 0 below 1,000. A number is in the 1261 times table exactly when it divides by 1261 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 1261 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 1261 × 1 = 1261 is odd, 1261 × 2 = 2,522 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 1261 × 10 = 12,610, and 1261 × 100 = 126,100. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 12,610 is 6,305.
Using the 1261 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 1261 × 7 = 8,827, you know 8,827 ÷ 1261 = 7 and 8,827 ÷ 7 = 1261. 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 1261 pencils. How many pencils are in 4 boxes?
Answer
4 × 1261 = 5,044 pencils. - Tickets cost $1261 each. How much do 6 tickets cost?
Answer
6 × $1261 = $7,566. - 7,566 chairs are set out in rows of 1261. How many rows are there?
Answer
7,566 ÷ 1261 = 6 rows. - A plant grows 1261 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 6 weeks?
Answer
6 × 1261 = 7,566 millimetres.
Questions
What is 1261 × 12?
15,132.
What is half of 1261 × 8?
1261 × 8 = 10,088, and half of that is 5,044, which is 1261 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 1261 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 1261 contain nothing.
What is 1261 × 7 and 1261 × 8?
1261 × 7 = 8,827 and 1261 × 8 = 10,088. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 18,915 in the 1261 times table?
Yes: 18,915 ÷ 1261 = 15 with no remainder. 18,916 is not, because dividing it by 1261 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 1261 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.
