Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 1: 0.
- Every answer is even, because 1500 is even.
- Every answer ends in 0 or 5.
- Split it into tens and ones: 1500 × k = 1500 × k + 0 × k.
- Each answer is 1500 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 1500.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 1500 times table is double the answer in the 750 times table: 750 × 6 = 4,500, so 1500 × 6 = 9,000. To multiply 1500 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 1500 away: 15,000 − 1500 = 13,500. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 1500: 15,000 + 1500 = 16,500. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 1500 → 3,000 → 6,000.
Every multiple of 1500 is at least 1500, so there are none below 100 and 0 below 1,000. A number is in the 1500 times table exactly when it divides by 1500 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 1500 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: 1500 × 10 = 15,000, and 1500 × 100 = 150,000. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 15,000 is 7,500.
Using the 1500 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 1500 × 7 = 10,500, you know 10,500 ÷ 1500 = 7 and 10,500 ÷ 7 = 1500. 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 1500 pencils. How many pencils are in 7 boxes?
Answer
7 × 1500 = 10,500 pencils. - Tickets cost $1500 each. How much do 9 tickets cost?
Answer
9 × $1500 = $13,500. - 7,500 chairs are set out in rows of 1500. How many rows are there?
Answer
7,500 ÷ 1500 = 5 rows. - A plant grows 1500 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 12 weeks?
Answer
12 × 1500 = 18,000 millimetres.
Questions
What is 1500 × 12?
18,000.
What is half of 1500 × 8?
1500 × 8 = 12,000, and half of that is 6,000, which is 1500 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 1500 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 1500 contain nothing.
What is 1500 × 7 and 1500 × 8?
1500 × 7 = 10,500 and 1500 × 8 = 12,000. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 22,500 in the 1500 times table?
Yes: 22,500 ÷ 1500 = 15 with no remainder. 22,501 is not, because dividing it by 1500 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 1500 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.
