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.
- The digits of every answer add up to a multiple of 9.
- Split it into tens and ones: 153 × k = 150 × k + 3 × k.
- Each answer is 153 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 153.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 153 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 153 away: 1,530 − 153 = 1,377. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 153: 1,530 + 153 = 1,683. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 153 → 306 → 612.
Every multiple of 153 is at least 153, so there are none below 100 and 6 below 1,000. A number is in the 153 times table exactly when it divides by 153 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 153 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 153 × 1 = 153 is odd, 153 × 2 = 306 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 153 × 10 = 1,530, and 153 × 100 = 15,300. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 1,530 is 765.
Using the 153 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 153 × 7 = 1,071, you know 1,071 ÷ 153 = 7 and 1,071 ÷ 7 = 153. 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 153 pencils. How many pencils are in 4 boxes?
Answer
4 × 153 = 612 pencils. - Tickets cost $153 each. How much do 7 tickets cost?
Answer
7 × $153 = $1,071. - 765 chairs are set out in rows of 153. How many rows are there?
Answer
765 ÷ 153 = 5 rows. - A plant grows 153 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 7 weeks?
Answer
7 × 153 = 1,071 millimetres.
Questions
What is 153 × 12?
1,836.
What is half of 153 × 8?
153 × 8 = 1,224, and half of that is 612, which is 153 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 153 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 153 contain nothing.
What is 153 × 7 and 153 × 8?
153 × 7 = 1,071 and 153 × 8 = 1,224. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 2,295 in the 153 times table?
Yes: 2,295 ÷ 153 = 15 with no remainder. 2,296 is not, because dividing it by 153 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 153 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.
