Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 1: 0.
  • Every answer is even, because 250 is even.
  • Every answer ends in 0 or 5.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 250 × k = 250 × k + 0 × k.
  • Each answer is 250 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 250.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 250 times table is double the answer in the 125 times table: 125 × 6 = 750, so 250 × 6 = 1,500. To multiply 250 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 250 away: 2,500 − 250 = 2,250. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 250: 2,500 + 250 = 2,750. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 250 → 500 → 1,000.

Every multiple of 250 is at least 250, so there are none below 100 and 3 below 1,000. A number is in the 250 times table exactly when it divides by 250 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 250 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: 250 × 10 = 2,500, and 250 × 100 = 25,000. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,500 is 1,250.

Using the 250 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 250 × 7 = 1,750, you know 1,750 ÷ 250 = 7 and 1,750 ÷ 7 = 250. 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:

  1. A box holds 250 pencils. How many pencils are in 9 boxes?
    Answer9 × 250 = 2,250 pencils.
  2. Tickets cost $250 each. How much do 6 tickets cost?
    Answer6 × $250 = $1,500.
  3. 1,000 chairs are set out in rows of 250. How many rows are there?
    Answer1,000 ÷ 250 = 4 rows.
  4. A plant grows 250 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 6 weeks?
    Answer6 × 250 = 1,500 millimetres.

Questions

What is 250 × 12?

3,000.

What is half of 250 × 8?

250 × 8 = 2,000, and half of that is 1,000, which is 250 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 250 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 250 contain nothing.

What is 250 × 7 and 250 × 8?

250 × 7 = 1,750 and 250 × 8 = 2,000. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 3,750 in the 250 times table?

Yes: 3,750 ÷ 250 = 15 with no remainder. 3,751 is not, because dividing it by 250 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 250 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.
