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 248 is even.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 248 × k = 240 × k + 8 × k.
  • Each answer is 248 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 248.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 248 times table is double the answer in the 124 times table: 124 × 6 = 744, so 248 × 6 = 1,488. To multiply 248 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 248 away: 2,480 − 248 = 2,232. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 248: 2,480 + 248 = 2,728. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 248 → 496 → 992.

Every multiple of 248 is at least 248, so there are none below 100 and 4 below 1,000. A number is in the 248 times table exactly when it divides by 248 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 248 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: 248 × 10 = 2,480, and 248 × 100 = 24,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,480 is 1,240.

Using the 248 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 248 × 7 = 1,736, you know 1,736 ÷ 248 = 7 and 1,736 ÷ 7 = 248. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 248 × 12?

2,976.

What is half of 248 × 8?

248 × 8 = 1,984, and half of that is 992, which is 248 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 248 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 248 contain nothing.

What is 248 × 7 and 248 × 8?

248 × 7 = 1,736 and 248 × 8 = 1,984. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
