Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 8, 6, 4, 2, 0.
  • Every answer is even, because 258 is even.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 258 × k = 250 × k + 8 × k.
  • Each answer is 258 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 258.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 258 times table is double the answer in the 129 times table: 129 × 6 = 774, so 258 × 6 = 1,548. To multiply 258 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 258 away: 2,580 − 258 = 2,322. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 258: 2,580 + 258 = 2,838. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 258 → 516 → 1,032.

Every multiple of 258 is at least 258, so there are none below 100 and 3 below 1,000. A number is in the 258 times table exactly when it divides by 258 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 258 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: 258 × 10 = 2,580, and 258 × 100 = 25,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,580 is 1,290.

Using the 258 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 258 × 7 = 1,806, you know 1,806 ÷ 258 = 7 and 1,806 ÷ 7 = 258. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 258 × 12?

3,096.

What is half of 258 × 8?

258 × 8 = 2,064, and half of that is 1,032, which is 258 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 258 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 258 contain nothing.

What is 258 × 7 and 258 × 8?

258 × 7 = 1,806 and 258 × 8 = 2,064. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
