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: 1491 × k = 1490 × k + 1 × k.
- Each answer is 1491 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 1491.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 1491 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 1491 away: 14,910 − 1491 = 13,419. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 1491: 14,910 + 1491 = 16,401. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 1491 → 2,982 → 5,964.
Every multiple of 1491 is at least 1491, so there are none below 100 and 0 below 1,000. A number is in the 1491 times table exactly when it divides by 1491 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 1491 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 1491 × 1 = 1491 is odd, 1491 × 2 = 2,982 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 1491 × 10 = 14,910, and 1491 × 100 = 149,100. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 14,910 is 7,455.
Using the 1491 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 1491 × 7 = 10,437, you know 10,437 ÷ 1491 = 7 and 10,437 ÷ 7 = 1491. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

17,892.
What is half of 1491 × 8?
1491 × 8 = 11,928, and half of that is 5,964, which is 1491 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 1491 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 1491 contain nothing.
What is 1491 × 7 and 1491 × 8?
1491 × 7 = 10,437 and 1491 × 8 = 11,928. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 22,365 in the 1491 times table?
Yes: 22,365 ÷ 1491 = 15 with no remainder. 22,366 is not, because dividing it by 1491 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 1491 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.
