Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 253 × k = 250 × k + 3 × k.
  • Each answer is 253 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 253.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 253 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 253 away: 2,530 − 253 = 2,277. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 253: 2,530 + 253 = 2,783. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 253 → 506 → 1,012.

Every multiple of 253 is at least 253, so there are none below 100 and 3 below 1,000. A number is in the 253 times table exactly when it divides by 253 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 253 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 253 × 1 = 253 is odd, 253 × 2 = 506 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 253 × 10 = 2,530, and 253 × 100 = 25,300. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,530 is 1,265.

Using the 253 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 253 × 7 = 1,771, you know 1,771 ÷ 253 = 7 and 1,771 ÷ 7 = 253. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 253 × 12?

3,036.

What is half of 253 × 8?

253 × 8 = 2,024, and half of that is 1,012, which is 253 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 253 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 253 contain nothing.

What is 253 × 7 and 253 × 8?

253 × 7 = 1,771 and 253 × 8 = 2,024. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 3,795 in the 253 times table?

Yes: 3,795 ÷ 253 = 15 with no remainder. 3,796 is not, because dividing it by 253 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 253 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.
