Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
- Split it into tens and ones: 249 × k = 240 × k + 9 × k.
- Each answer is 249 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 249.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 249 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 249 away: 2,490 − 249 = 2,241. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 249: 2,490 + 249 = 2,739. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 249 → 498 → 996.
Every multiple of 249 is at least 249, so there are none below 100 and 4 below 1,000. A number is in the 249 times table exactly when it divides by 249 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 249 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 249 × 1 = 249 is odd, 249 × 2 = 498 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 249 × 10 = 2,490, and 249 × 100 = 24,900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,490 is 1,245.
Using the 249 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 249 × 7 = 1,743, you know 1,743 ÷ 249 = 7 and 1,743 ÷ 7 = 249. 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 249 pencils. How many pencils are in 9 boxes?
Answer
9 × 249 = 2,241 pencils. - Tickets cost $249 each. How much do 7 tickets cost?
Answer
7 × $249 = $1,743. - 2,241 chairs are set out in rows of 249. How many rows are there?
Answer
2,241 ÷ 249 = 9 rows. - A plant grows 249 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 11 weeks?
Answer
11 × 249 = 2,739 millimetres.
Questions
What is 249 × 12?
2,988.
What is half of 249 × 8?
249 × 8 = 1,992, and half of that is 996, which is 249 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 249 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 249 contain nothing.
What is 249 × 7 and 249 × 8?
249 × 7 = 1,743 and 249 × 8 = 1,992. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 3,735 in the 249 times table?
Yes: 3,735 ÷ 249 = 15 with no remainder. 3,736 is not, because dividing it by 249 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 249 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.
