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: 197 × k = 190 × k + 7 × k.
  • Each answer is 197 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 197.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 197 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 197 away: 1,970 − 197 = 1,773. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 197: 1,970 + 197 = 2,167. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 197 → 394 → 788.

Every multiple of 197 is at least 197, so there are none below 100 and 5 below 1,000. A number is in the 197 times table exactly when it divides by 197 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 197 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 197 × 1 = 197 is odd, 197 × 2 = 394 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 197 × 10 = 1,970, and 197 × 100 = 19,700. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 1,970 is 985.

Using the 197 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 197 × 7 = 1,379, you know 1,379 ÷ 197 = 7 and 1,379 ÷ 7 = 197. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 197 × 12?

2,364.

What is half of 197 × 8?

197 × 8 = 1,576, and half of that is 788, which is 197 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 197 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 197 contain nothing.

What is 197 × 7 and 197 × 8?

197 × 7 = 1,379 and 197 × 8 = 1,576. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
