Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 259 × k = 250 × k + 9 × k.
  • Each answer is 259 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 259.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 259 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 259 away: 2,590 − 259 = 2,331. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 259: 2,590 + 259 = 2,849. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 259 → 518 → 1,036.

Every multiple of 259 is at least 259, so there are none below 100 and 3 below 1,000. A number is in the 259 times table exactly when it divides by 259 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 259 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 259 × 1 = 259 is odd, 259 × 2 = 518 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 259 × 10 = 2,590, and 259 × 100 = 25,900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,590 is 1,295.

Using the 259 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 259 × 7 = 1,813, you know 1,813 ÷ 259 = 7 and 1,813 ÷ 7 = 259. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 259 × 12?

3,108.

What is half of 259 × 8?

259 × 8 = 2,072, and half of that is 1,036, which is 259 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 259 times 0?
