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 1588 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 1588 × k = 1580 × k + 8 × k.
- Each answer is 1588 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 1588.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 1588 times table is double the answer in the 794 times table: 794 × 6 = 4,764, so 1588 × 6 = 9,528. To multiply 1588 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 1588 away: 15,880 − 1588 = 14,292. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 1588: 15,880 + 1588 = 17,468. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 1588 → 3,176 → 6,352.
Every multiple of 1588 is at least 1588, so there are none below 100 and 0 below 1,000. A number is in the 1588 times table exactly when it divides by 1588 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 1588 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: 1588 × 10 = 15,880, and 1588 × 100 = 158,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 15,880 is 7,940.
Using the 1588 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 1588 × 7 = 11,116, you know 11,116 ÷ 1588 = 7 and 11,116 ÷ 7 = 1588. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
