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: 143 × k = 140 × k + 3 × k.
- Each answer is 143 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 143.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 143 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 143 away: 1,430 − 143 = 1,287. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 143: 1,430 + 143 = 1,573. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 143 → 286 → 572.
Every multiple of 143 is at least 143, so there are none below 100 and 6 below 1,000. A number is in the 143 times table exactly when it divides by 143 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 143 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 143 × 1 = 143 is odd, 143 × 2 = 286 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 143 × 10 = 1,430, and 143 × 100 = 14,300. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 1,430 is 715.
Using the 143 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 143 × 7 = 1,001, you know 1,001 ÷ 143 = 7 and 1,001 ÷ 7 = 143. 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 143 pencils. How many pencils are in 4 boxes?
Answer
4 × 143 = 572 pencils. - Tickets cost $143 each. How much do 12 tickets cost?
Answer
12 × $143 = $1,716. - 858 chairs are set out in rows of 143. How many rows are there?
Answer
858 ÷ 143 = 6 rows. - A plant grows 143 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 12 weeks?
Answer
12 × 143 = 1,716 millimetres.
Questions
What is 143 × 12?
1,716.
What is half of 143 × 8?
143 × 8 = 1,144, and half of that is 572, which is 143 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 143 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 143 contain nothing.
What is 143 × 7 and 143 × 8?
143 × 7 = 1,001 and 143 × 8 = 1,144. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 2,145 in the 143 times table?
Yes: 2,145 ÷ 143 = 15 with no remainder. 2,146 is not, because dividing it by 143 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 143 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.
