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 166 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 166 × k = 160 × k + 6 × k.
- Each answer is 166 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 166.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 166 times table is double the answer in the 83 times table: 83 × 6 = 498, so 166 × 6 = 996. To multiply 166 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 166 away: 1,660 − 166 = 1,494. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 166: 1,660 + 166 = 1,826. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 166 → 332 → 664.
Every multiple of 166 is at least 166, so there are none below 100 and 6 below 1,000. A number is in the 166 times table exactly when it divides by 166 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 166 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: 166 × 10 = 1,660, and 166 × 100 = 16,600. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 1,660 is 830.
Using the 166 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 166 × 7 = 1,162, you know 1,162 ÷ 166 = 7 and 1,162 ÷ 7 = 166. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Word problems
Times tables are most useful when you can spot them in a question. Try these, then open each one to check:
- A box holds 166 pencils. How many pencils are in 5 boxes?
Answer
5 × 166 = 830 pencils. - Tickets cost $166 each. How much do 7 tickets cost?
Answer
7 × $166 = $1,162. - 498 chairs are set out in rows of 166. How many rows are there?
Answer
498 ÷ 166 = 3 rows. - A plant grows 166 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 10 weeks?
Answer
10 × 166 = 1,660 millimetres.
Questions
What is 166 × 12?
1,992.
What is half of 166 × 8?
166 × 8 = 1,328, and half of that is 664, which is 166 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 166 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 166 contain nothing.
What is 166 × 7 and 166 × 8?
166 × 7 = 1,162 and 166 × 8 = 1,328. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 2,490 in the 166 times table?
Yes: 2,490 ÷ 166 = 15 with no remainder. 2,491 is not, because dividing it by 166 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 166 times table quickly?
Learn it in order first, then use the patterns above and practise mixed questions; a few minutes a day works better than one long session.
