Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 6, 2, 8, 4, 0.
- Every answer is even, because 1996 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 1996 × k = 1990 × k + 6 × k.
- Each answer is 1996 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 1996.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 1996 times table is double the answer in the 998 times table: 998 × 6 = 5,988, so 1996 × 6 = 11,976. To multiply 1996 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 1996 away: 19,960 − 1996 = 17,964. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 1996: 19,960 + 1996 = 21,956. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 1996 → 3,992 → 7,984.
Every multiple of 1996 is at least 1996, so there are none below 100 and 0 below 1,000. A number is in the 1996 times table exactly when it divides by 1996 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 1996 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: 1996 × 10 = 19,960, and 1996 × 100 = 199,600. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 19,960 is 9,980.
Using the 1996 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 1996 × 7 = 13,972, you know 13,972 ÷ 1996 = 7 and 13,972 ÷ 7 = 1996. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

23,952.
What is half of 1996 × 8?
1996 × 8 = 15,968, and half of that is 7,984, which is 1996 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 1996 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 1996 contain nothing.
What is 1996 × 7 and 1996 × 8?
1996 × 7 = 13,972 and 1996 × 8 = 15,968. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 29,940 in the 1996 times table?
Yes: 29,940 ÷ 1996 = 15 with no remainder. 29,941 is not, because dividing it by 1996 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 1996 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.
