Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 2: 5, 0.
  • Every answer ends in 0 or 5.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 1985 × k = 1980 × k + 5 × k.
  • Each answer is 1985 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 1985.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 1985 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 1985 away: 19,850 − 1985 = 17,865. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 1985: 19,850 + 1985 = 21,835. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 1985 → 3,970 → 7,940.

Every multiple of 1985 is at least 1985, so there are none below 100 and 0 below 1,000. A number is in the 1985 times table exactly when it divides by 1985 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 1985 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 1985 × 1 = 1985 is odd, 1985 × 2 = 3,970 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 1985 × 10 = 19,850, and 1985 × 100 = 198,500. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 19,850 is 9,925.

Using the 1985 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 1985 × 7 = 13,895, you know 13,895 ÷ 1985 = 7 and 13,895 ÷ 7 = 1985. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
