Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 1: 0.
- Every answer is even, because 260 is even.
- Every answer ends in 0 or 5.
- Split it into tens and ones: 260 × k = 260 × k + 0 × k.
- Each answer is 260 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 260.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 260 times table is double the answer in the 130 times table: 130 × 6 = 780, so 260 × 6 = 1,560. To multiply 260 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 260 away: 2,600 − 260 = 2,340. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 260: 2,600 + 260 = 2,860. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 260 → 520 → 1,040.
Every multiple of 260 is at least 260, so there are none below 100 and 3 below 1,000. A number is in the 260 times table exactly when it divides by 260 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 260 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: 260 × 10 = 2,600, and 260 × 100 = 26,000. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,600 is 1,300.
Using the 260 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 260 × 7 = 1,820, you know 1,820 ÷ 260 = 7 and 1,820 ÷ 7 = 260. 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 260 pencils. How many pencils are in 3 boxes?
Answer
3 × 260 = 780 pencils. - Tickets cost $260 each. How much do 4 tickets cost?
Answer
4 × $260 = $1,040. - 1,300 chairs are set out in rows of 260. How many rows are there?
Answer
1,300 ÷ 260 = 5 rows. - A plant grows 260 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 12 weeks?
Answer
12 × 260 = 3,120 millimetres.
Questions
What is 260 × 12?
3,120.
What is half of 260 × 8?
260 × 8 = 2,080, and half of that is 1,040, which is 260 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 260 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 260 contain nothing.
What is 260 × 7 and 260 × 8?
260 × 7 = 1,820 and 260 × 8 = 2,080. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 3,900 in the 260 times table?
Yes: 3,900 ÷ 260 = 15 with no remainder. 3,901 is not, because dividing it by 260 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 260 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.
