Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
- Split it into tens and ones: 179 × k = 170 × k + 9 × k.
- Each answer is 179 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 179.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 179 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 179 away: 1,790 − 179 = 1,611. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 179: 1,790 + 179 = 1,969. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 179 → 358 → 716.
Every multiple of 179 is at least 179, so there are none below 100 and 5 below 1,000. A number is in the 179 times table exactly when it divides by 179 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 179 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 179 × 1 = 179 is odd, 179 × 2 = 358 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 179 × 10 = 1,790, and 179 × 100 = 17,900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 1,790 is 895.
Using the 179 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 179 × 7 = 1,253, you know 1,253 ÷ 179 = 7 and 1,253 ÷ 7 = 179. 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 179 pencils. How many pencils are in 5 boxes?
Answer
5 × 179 = 895 pencils. - Tickets cost $179 each. How much do 10 tickets cost?
Answer
10 × $179 = $1,790. - 358 chairs are set out in rows of 179. How many rows are there?
Answer
358 ÷ 179 = 2 rows. - A plant grows 179 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 11 weeks?

Questions
What is 179 × 12?
2,148.
What is half of 179 × 8?
179 × 8 = 1,432, and half of that is 716, which is 179 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 179 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 179 contain nothing.
What is 179 × 7 and 179 × 8?
179 × 7 = 1,253 and 179 × 8 = 1,432. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 2,685 in the 179 times table?
Yes: 2,685 ÷ 179 = 15 with no remainder. 2,686 is not, because dividing it by 179 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 179 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.
