Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 8, 6, 4, 2, 0.
  • Every answer is even, because 158 is even.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 158 × k = 150 × k + 8 × k.
  • Each answer is 158 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 158.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 158 times table is double the answer in the 79 times table: 79 × 6 = 474, so 158 × 6 = 948. To multiply 158 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 158 away: 1,580 − 158 = 1,422. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 158: 1,580 + 158 = 1,738. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 158 → 316 → 632.

Every multiple of 158 is at least 158, so there are none below 100 and 6 below 1,000. A number is in the 158 times table exactly when it divides by 158 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 158 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: 158 × 10 = 1,580, and 158 × 100 = 15,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 1,580 is 790.

Using the 158 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 158 × 7 = 1,106, you know 1,106 ÷ 158 = 7 and 1,106 ÷ 7 = 158. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
