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 168 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 168 × k = 160 × k + 8 × k.
- Each answer is 168 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 168.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 168 times table is double the answer in the 84 times table: 84 × 6 = 504, so 168 × 6 = 1,008. To multiply 168 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 168 away: 1,680 − 168 = 1,512. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 168: 1,680 + 168 = 1,848. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 168 → 336 → 672.
Every multiple of 168 is at least 168, so there are none below 100 and 5 below 1,000. A number is in the 168 times table exactly when it divides by 168 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 168 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: 168 × 10 = 1,680, and 168 × 100 = 16,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 1,680 is 840.
Using the 168 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 168 × 7 = 1,176, you know 1,176 ÷ 168 = 7 and 1,176 ÷ 7 = 168. 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 168 pencils. How many pencils are in 5 boxes?
Answer
5 × 168 = 840 pencils. - Tickets cost $168 each. How much do 6 tickets cost?
Answer
6 × $168 = $1,008. - 840 chairs are set out in rows of 168. How many rows are there?
Answer
840 ÷ 168 = 5 rows. - A plant grows 168 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 7 weeks?
Answer
7 × 168 = 1,176 millimetres.
Questions
What is 168 × 12?
2,016.
What is half of 168 × 8?
168 × 8 = 1,344, and half of that is 672, which is 168 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 168 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 168 contain nothing.
What is 168 × 7 and 168 × 8?
168 × 7 = 1,176 and 168 × 8 = 1,344. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 2,520 in the 168 times table?
Yes: 2,520 ÷ 168 = 15 with no remainder. 2,521 is not, because dividing it by 168 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 168 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.
