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 218 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 218 × k = 210 × k + 8 × k.
- Each answer is 218 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 218.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 218 times table is double the answer in the 109 times table: 109 × 6 = 654, so 218 × 6 = 1,308. To multiply 218 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 218 away: 2,180 − 218 = 1,962. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 218: 2,180 + 218 = 2,398. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 218 → 436 → 872.
Every multiple of 218 is at least 218, so there are none below 100 and 4 below 1,000. A number is in the 218 times table exactly when it divides by 218 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 218 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: 218 × 10 = 2,180, and 218 × 100 = 21,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,180 is 1,090.
Using the 218 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 218 × 7 = 1,526, you know 1,526 ÷ 218 = 7 and 1,526 ÷ 7 = 218. 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 218 pencils. How many pencils are in 7 boxes?
Answer
7 × 218 = 1,526 pencils. - Tickets cost $218 each. How much do 6 tickets cost?
Answer
6 × $218 = $1,308. - 1,526 chairs are set out in rows of 218. How many rows are there?
Answer
1,526 ÷ 218 = 7 rows. - A plant grows 218 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 8 weeks?
Answer
8 × 218 = 1,744 millimetres.
Questions
What is 218 × 12?
2,616.
What is half of 218 × 8?
218 × 8 = 1,744, and half of that is 872, which is 218 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 218 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 218 contain nothing.
What is 218 × 7 and 218 × 8?
218 × 7 = 1,526 and 218 × 8 = 1,744. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 3,270 in the 218 times table?
Yes: 3,270 ÷ 218 = 15 with no remainder. 3,271 is not, because dividing it by 218 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 218 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.
