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 188 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 188 × k = 180 × k + 8 × k.
- Each answer is 188 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 188.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 188 times table is double the answer in the 94 times table: 94 × 6 = 564, so 188 × 6 = 1,128. To multiply 188 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 188 away: 1,880 − 188 = 1,692. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 188: 1,880 + 188 = 2,068. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 188 → 376 → 752.
Every multiple of 188 is at least 188, so there are none below 100 and 5 below 1,000. A number is in the 188 times table exactly when it divides by 188 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 188 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: 188 × 10 = 1,880, and 188 × 100 = 18,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 1,880 is 940.
Using the 188 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 188 × 7 = 1,316, you know 1,316 ÷ 188 = 7 and 1,316 ÷ 7 = 188. 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 188 pencils. How many pencils are in 6 boxes?
Answer
6 × 188 = 1,128 pencils. - Tickets cost $188 each. How much do 11 tickets cost?
Answer
11 × $188 = $2,068. - 1,128 chairs are set out in rows of 188. How many rows are there?
Answer
1,128 ÷ 188 = 6 rows. - A plant grows 188 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 9 weeks?
Answer
9 × 188 = 1,692 millimetres.
Questions
What is 188 × 12?
2,256.
What is half of 188 × 8?
188 × 8 = 1,504, and half of that is 752, which is 188 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 188 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 188 contain nothing.
What is 188 × 7 and 188 × 8?
188 × 7 = 1,316 and 188 × 8 = 1,504. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 2,820 in the 188 times table?
Yes: 2,820 ÷ 188 = 15 with no remainder. 2,821 is not, because dividing it by 188 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 188 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.
