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: 247 × k = 240 × k + 7 × k.
  • Each answer is 247 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 247.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 247 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 247 away: 2,470 − 247 = 2,223. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 247: 2,470 + 247 = 2,717. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 247 → 494 → 988.

Every multiple of 247 is at least 247, so there are none below 100 and 4 below 1,000. A number is in the 247 times table exactly when it divides by 247 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 247 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 247 × 1 = 247 is odd, 247 × 2 = 494 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 247 × 10 = 2,470, and 247 × 100 = 24,700. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,470 is 1,235.

Using the 247 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 247 × 7 = 1,729, you know 1,729 ÷ 247 = 7 and 1,729 ÷ 7 = 247. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 247 × 12?

2,964.

What is half of 247 × 8?

247 × 8 = 1,976, and half of that is 988, which is 247 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 247 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 247 contain nothing.

What is 247 × 7 and 247 × 8?

247 × 7 = 1,729 and 247 × 8 = 1,976. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 3,705 in the 247 times table?

Yes: 3,705 ÷ 247 = 15 with no remainder. 3,706 is not, because dividing it by 247 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 247 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.
