Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 2, 4, 6, 8, 0.
- Every answer is even, because 262 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 262 × k = 260 × k + 2 × k.
- Each answer is 262 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 262.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 262 times table is double the answer in the 131 times table: 131 × 6 = 786, so 262 × 6 = 1,572. To multiply 262 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 262 away: 2,620 − 262 = 2,358. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 262: 2,620 + 262 = 2,882. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 262 → 524 → 1,048.
Every multiple of 262 is at least 262, so there are none below 100 and 3 below 1,000. A number is in the 262 times table exactly when it divides by 262 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 262 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: 262 × 10 = 2,620, and 262 × 100 = 26,200. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,620 is 1,310.
Using the 262 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 262 × 7 = 1,834, you know 1,834 ÷ 262 = 7 and 1,834 ÷ 7 = 262. 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 262 pencils. How many pencils are in 3 boxes?
Answer
3 × 262 = 786 pencils. - Tickets cost $262 each. How much do 8 tickets cost?
Answer
8 × $262 = $2,096. - 524 chairs are set out in rows of 262. How many rows are there?
Answer
524 ÷ 262 = 2 rows. - A plant grows 262 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 8 weeks?
Answer
8 × 262 = 2,096 millimetres.
Questions
What is 262 × 12?
3,144.
What is half of 262 × 8?
262 × 8 = 2,096, and half of that is 1,048, which is 262 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 262 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 262 contain nothing.
What is 262 × 7 and 262 × 8?
262 × 7 = 1,834 and 262 × 8 = 2,096. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 3,930 in the 262 times table?
Yes: 3,930 ÷ 262 = 15 with no remainder. 3,931 is not, because dividing it by 262 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 262 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.
