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: 1987 × k = 1980 × k + 7 × k.
  • Each answer is 1987 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 1987.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 1987 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 1987 away: 19,870 − 1987 = 17,883. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 1987: 19,870 + 1987 = 21,857. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 1987 → 3,974 → 7,948.

Every multiple of 1987 is at least 1987, so there are none below 100 and 0 below 1,000. A number is in the 1987 times table exactly when it divides by 1987 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 1987 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 1987 × 1 = 1987 is odd, 1987 × 2 = 3,974 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 1987 × 10 = 19,870, and 1987 × 100 = 198,700. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 19,870 is 9,935.

Using the 1987 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 1987 × 7 = 13,909, you know 13,909 ÷ 1987 = 7 and 13,909 ÷ 7 = 1987. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
