Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 257 × k = 250 × k + 7 × k.
  • Each answer is 257 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 257.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 257 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 257 away: 2,570 − 257 = 2,313. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 257: 2,570 + 257 = 2,827. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 257 → 514 → 1,028.

Every multiple of 257 is at least 257, so there are none below 100 and 3 below 1,000. A number is in the 257 times table exactly when it divides by 257 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 257 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 257 × 1 = 257 is odd, 257 × 2 = 514 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 257 × 10 = 2,570, and 257 × 100 = 25,700. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,570 is 1,285.

Using the 257 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 257 × 7 = 1,799, you know 1,799 ÷ 257 = 7 and 1,799 ÷ 7 = 257. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 257 × 12?

3,084.

What is half of 257 × 8?

257 × 8 = 2,056, and half of that is 1,028, which is 257 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 257 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 257 contain nothing.

What is 257 × 7 and 257 × 8?

257 × 7 = 1,799 and 257 × 8 = 2,056. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 3,855 in the 257 times table?

Yes: 3,855 ÷ 257 = 15 with no remainder. 3,856 is not, because dividing it by 257 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 257 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.
