Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 2, 4, 6, 8, 0.
  • Every answer is even, because 162 is even.
  • The digits of every answer add up to a multiple of 9.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 162 × k = 160 × k + 2 × k.
  • Each answer is 162 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 162.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 162 times table is double the answer in the 81 times table: 81 × 6 = 486, so 162 × 6 = 972. To multiply 162 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 162 away: 1,620 − 162 = 1,458. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 162: 1,620 + 162 = 1,782. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 162 → 324 → 648.

Every multiple of 162 is at least 162, so there are none below 100 and 6 below 1,000. A number is in the 162 times table exactly when it divides by 162 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 162 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: 162 × 10 = 1,620, and 162 × 100 = 16,200. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 1,620 is 810.

Using the 162 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 162 × 7 = 1,134, you know 1,134 ÷ 162 = 7 and 1,134 ÷ 7 = 162. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 162 × 12?

1,944.

What is half of 162 × 8?

162 × 8 = 1,296, and half of that is 648, which is 162 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 162 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 162 contain nothing.

What is 162 × 7 and 162 × 8?

162 × 7 = 1,134 and 162 × 8 = 1,296. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
