Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 2, 4, 6, 8, 0.
  • Every answer is even, because 142 is even.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 142 × k = 140 × k + 2 × k.
  • Each answer is 142 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 142.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 142 times table is double the answer in the 71 times table: 71 × 6 = 426, so 142 × 6 = 852. To multiply 142 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 142 away: 1,420 − 142 = 1,278. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 142: 1,420 + 142 = 1,562. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 142 → 284 → 568.

Every multiple of 142 is at least 142, so there are none below 100 and 7 below 1,000. A number is in the 142 times table exactly when it divides by 142 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 142 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: 142 × 10 = 1,420, and 142 × 100 = 14,200. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 1,420 is 710.

Using the 142 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 142 × 7 = 994, you know 994 ÷ 142 = 7 and 994 ÷ 7 = 142. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 142 × 12?

1,704.

What is half of 142 × 8?

142 × 8 = 1,136, and half of that is 568, which is 142 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 142 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 142 contain nothing.

What is 142 × 7 and 142 × 8?

142 × 7 = 994 and 142 × 8 = 1,136. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Yes: 2,130 ÷ 142 = 15 with no remainder. 2,131 is not, because dividing it by 142 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 142 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.
