Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 157 × k = 150 × k + 7 × k.
  • Each answer is 157 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 157.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 157 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 157 away: 1,570 − 157 = 1,413. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 157: 1,570 + 157 = 1,727. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 157 → 314 → 628.

Every multiple of 157 is at least 157, so there are none below 100 and 6 below 1,000. A number is in the 157 times table exactly when it divides by 157 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 157 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 157 × 1 = 157 is odd, 157 × 2 = 314 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 157 × 10 = 1,570, and 157 × 100 = 15,700. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 1,570 is 785.

Using the 157 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 157 × 7 = 1,099, you know 1,099 ÷ 157 = 7 and 1,099 ÷ 7 = 157. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 157 × 12?

1,884.

What is half of 157 × 8?

157 × 8 = 1,256, and half of that is 628, which is 157 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 157 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 157 contain nothing.

What is 157 × 7 and 157 × 8?

157 × 7 = 1,099 and 157 × 8 = 1,256. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
