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 246 is even.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 246 × k = 240 × k + 6 × k.
  • Each answer is 246 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 246.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 246 times table is double the answer in the 123 times table: 123 × 6 = 738, so 246 × 6 = 1,476. To multiply 246 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 246 away: 2,460 − 246 = 2,214. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 246: 2,460 + 246 = 2,706. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 246 → 492 → 984.

Every multiple of 246 is at least 246, so there are none below 100 and 4 below 1,000. A number is in the 246 times table exactly when it divides by 246 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 246 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: 246 × 10 = 2,460, and 246 × 100 = 24,600. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,460 is 1,230.

Using the 246 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 246 × 7 = 1,722, you know 1,722 ÷ 246 = 7 and 1,722 ÷ 7 = 246. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 246 × 12?

2,952.

What is half of 246 × 8?

246 × 8 = 1,968, and half of that is 984, which is 246 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 246 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 246 contain nothing.

What is 246 × 7 and 246 × 8?

246 × 7 = 1,722 and 246 × 8 = 1,968. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
