Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 251 × k = 250 × k + 1 × k.
  • Each answer is 251 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 251.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 251 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 251 away: 2,510 − 251 = 2,259. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 251: 2,510 + 251 = 2,761. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 251 → 502 → 1,004.

Every multiple of 251 is at least 251, so there are none below 100 and 3 below 1,000. A number is in the 251 times table exactly when it divides by 251 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 251 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 251 × 1 = 251 is odd, 251 × 2 = 502 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 251 × 10 = 2,510, and 251 × 100 = 25,100. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,510 is 1,255.

Using the 251 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 251 × 7 = 1,757, you know 1,757 ÷ 251 = 7 and 1,757 ÷ 7 = 251. 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:

    Answer3 × 251 = 753 pencils.
  2. Tickets cost $251 each. How much do 10 tickets cost?
    Answer10 × $251 = $2,510.
  3. 2,259 chairs are set out in rows of 251. How many rows are there?
    Answer2,259 ÷ 251 = 9 rows.
  4. A plant grows 251 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 6 weeks?

Questions

What is 251 × 12?

3,012.

What is half of 251 × 8?

251 × 8 = 2,008, and half of that is 1,004, which is 251 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 251 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 251 contain nothing.

What is 251 × 7 and 251 × 8?

251 × 7 = 1,757 and 251 × 8 = 2,008. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 3,765 in the 251 times table?

Yes: 3,765 ÷ 251 = 15 with no remainder. 3,766 is not, because dividing it by 251 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 251 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.
