Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 6, 2, 8, 4, 0.
- Every answer is even, because 1556 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 1556 × k = 1550 × k + 6 × k.
- Each answer is 1556 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 1556.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 1556 times table is double the answer in the 778 times table: 778 × 6 = 4,668, so 1556 × 6 = 9,336. To multiply 1556 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 1556 away: 15,560 − 1556 = 14,004. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 1556: 15,560 + 1556 = 17,116. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 1556 → 3,112 → 6,224.
Every multiple of 1556 is at least 1556, so there are none below 100 and 0 below 1,000. A number is in the 1556 times table exactly when it divides by 1556 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 1556 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: 1556 × 10 = 15,560, and 1556 × 100 = 155,600. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 15,560 is 7,780.
Using the 1556 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 1556 × 7 = 10,892, you know 10,892 ÷ 1556 = 7 and 10,892 ÷ 7 = 1556. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
