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 156 is even.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 156 × k = 150 × k + 6 × k.
  • Each answer is 156 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 156.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 156 times table is double the answer in the 78 times table: 78 × 6 = 468, so 156 × 6 = 936. To multiply 156 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 156 away: 1,560 − 156 = 1,404. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 156: 1,560 + 156 = 1,716. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 156 → 312 → 624.

Every multiple of 156 is at least 156, so there are none below 100 and 6 below 1,000. A number is in the 156 times table exactly when it divides by 156 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 156 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: 156 × 10 = 1,560, and 156 × 100 = 15,600. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 1,560 is 780.

Using the 156 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 156 × 7 = 1,092, you know 1,092 ÷ 156 = 7 and 1,092 ÷ 7 = 156. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 156 × 12?

1,872.

What is half of 156 × 8?

156 × 8 = 1,248, and half of that is 624, which is 156 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
