Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 2, 4, 6, 8, 0.
- Every answer is even, because 252 is even.
- The digits of every answer add up to a multiple of 9.
- Split it into tens and ones: 252 × k = 250 × k + 2 × k.
- Each answer is 252 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 252.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 252 times table is double the answer in the 126 times table: 126 × 6 = 756, so 252 × 6 = 1,512. To multiply 252 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 252 away: 2,520 − 252 = 2,268. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 252: 2,520 + 252 = 2,772. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 252 → 504 → 1,008.
Every multiple of 252 is at least 252, so there are none below 100 and 3 below 1,000. A number is in the 252 times table exactly when it divides by 252 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 252 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: 252 × 10 = 2,520, and 252 × 100 = 25,200. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,520 is 1,260.
Using the 252 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 252 × 7 = 1,764, you know 1,764 ÷ 252 = 7 and 1,764 ÷ 7 = 252. 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 252 pencils. How many pencils are in 3 boxes?
Answer
3 × 252 = 756 pencils. - Tickets cost $252 each. How much do 11 tickets cost?
Answer
11 × $252 = $2,772. - 1,008 chairs are set out in rows of 252. How many rows are there?
Answer
1,008 ÷ 252 = 4 rows. - A plant grows 252 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 9 weeks?
Answer
9 × 252 = 2,268 millimetres.
Questions
What is 252 × 12?
3,024.
What is half of 252 × 8?
252 × 8 = 2,016, and half of that is 1,008, which is 252 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 252 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 252 contain nothing.
What is 252 × 7 and 252 × 8?
252 × 7 = 1,764 and 252 × 8 = 2,016. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 3,780 in the 252 times table?
Yes: 3,780 ÷ 252 = 15 with no remainder. 3,781 is not, because dividing it by 252 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 252 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.
