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: 131 × k = 130 × k + 1 × k.
  • Each answer is 131 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 131.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 131 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 131 away: 1,310 − 131 = 1,179. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 131: 1,310 + 131 = 1,441. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 131 → 262 → 524.

Every multiple of 131 is at least 131, so there are none below 100 and 7 below 1,000. A number is in the 131 times table exactly when it divides by 131 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 131 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 131 × 1 = 131 is odd, 131 × 2 = 262 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 131 × 10 = 1,310, and 131 × 100 = 13,100. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 1,310 is 655.

Using the 131 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 131 × 7 = 917, you know 917 ÷ 131 = 7 and 917 ÷ 7 = 131. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

    Answer3 × 131 = 393 pencils.
  2. Tickets cost $131 each. How much do 6 tickets cost?
    Answer6 × $131 = $786.
  3. 524 chairs are set out in rows of 131. How many rows are there?
    Answer524 ÷ 131 = 4 rows.
  4. A plant grows 131 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 6 weeks?

Questions

What is 131 × 12?

1,572.

What is half of 131 × 8?

131 × 8 = 1,048, and half of that is 524, which is 131 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 131 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 131 contain nothing.

What is 131 × 7 and 131 × 8?

131 × 7 = 917 and 131 × 8 = 1,048. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 1,965 in the 131 times table?

Yes: 1,965 ÷ 131 = 15 with no remainder. 1,966 is not, because dividing it by 131 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 131 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.
