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 1686 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 1686 × k = 1680 × k + 6 × k.
- Each answer is 1686 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 1686.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 1686 times table is double the answer in the 843 times table: 843 × 6 = 5,058, so 1686 × 6 = 10,116. To multiply 1686 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 1686 away: 16,860 − 1686 = 15,174. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 1686: 16,860 + 1686 = 18,546. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 1686 → 3,372 → 6,744.
Every multiple of 1686 is at least 1686, so there are none below 100 and 0 below 1,000. A number is in the 1686 times table exactly when it divides by 1686 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 1686 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: 1686 × 10 = 16,860, and 1686 × 100 = 168,600. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 16,860 is 8,430.
Using the 1686 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 1686 × 7 = 11,802, you know 11,802 ÷ 1686 = 7 and 11,802 ÷ 7 = 1686. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

20,232.
What is half of 1686 × 8?
1686 × 8 = 13,488, and half of that is 6,744, which is 1686 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 1686 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 1686 contain nothing.
What is 1686 × 7 and 1686 × 8?
1686 × 7 = 11,802 and 1686 × 8 = 13,488. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
