Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0.
- Split it into tens and ones: 187 × k = 180 × k + 7 × k.
- Each answer is 187 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 187.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 187 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 187 away: 1,870 − 187 = 1,683. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 187: 1,870 + 187 = 2,057. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 187 → 374 → 748.
Every multiple of 187 is at least 187, so there are none below 100 and 5 below 1,000. A number is in the 187 times table exactly when it divides by 187 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 187 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 187 × 1 = 187 is odd, 187 × 2 = 374 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 187 × 10 = 1,870, and 187 × 100 = 18,700. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 1,870 is 935.
Using the 187 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 187 × 7 = 1,309, you know 1,309 ÷ 187 = 7 and 1,309 ÷ 7 = 187. 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 187 pencils. How many pencils are in 6 boxes?
Answer
6 × 187 = 1,122 pencils. - Tickets cost $187 each. How much do 5 tickets cost?
Answer
5 × $187 = $935. - 935 chairs are set out in rows of 187. How many rows are there?
Answer
935 ÷ 187 = 5 rows. - A plant grows 187 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 9 weeks?
Answer
9 × 187 = 1,683 millimetres.
Questions
What is 187 × 12?
2,244.
What is half of 187 × 8?
187 × 8 = 1,496, and half of that is 748, which is 187 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 187 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 187 contain nothing.
What is 187 × 7 and 187 × 8?
187 × 7 = 1,309 and 187 × 8 = 1,496. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 2,805 in the 187 times table?
Yes: 2,805 ÷ 187 = 15 with no remainder. 2,806 is not, because dividing it by 187 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 187 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.
