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 272 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 272 × k = 270 × k + 2 × k.
- Each answer is 272 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 272.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 272 times table is double the answer in the 136 times table: 136 × 6 = 816, so 272 × 6 = 1,632. To multiply 272 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 272 away: 2,720 − 272 = 2,448. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 272: 2,720 + 272 = 2,992. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 272 → 544 → 1,088.
Every multiple of 272 is at least 272, so there are none below 100 and 3 below 1,000. A number is in the 272 times table exactly when it divides by 272 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 272 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: 272 × 10 = 2,720, and 272 × 100 = 27,200. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,720 is 1,360.
Using the 272 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 272 × 7 = 1,904, you know 1,904 ÷ 272 = 7 and 1,904 ÷ 7 = 272. 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 272 pencils. How many pencils are in 4 boxes?
Answer
4 × 272 = 1,088 pencils. - Tickets cost $272 each. How much do 9 tickets cost?
Answer
9 × $272 = $2,448. - 1,632 chairs are set out in rows of 272. How many rows are there?
Answer
1,632 ÷ 272 = 6 rows. - A plant grows 272 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 9 weeks?
Answer
9 × 272 = 2,448 millimetres.
Questions
What is 272 × 12?
3,264.
What is half of 272 × 8?
272 × 8 = 2,176, and half of that is 1,088, which is 272 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 272 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 272 contain nothing.
What is 272 × 7 and 272 × 8?
272 × 7 = 1,904 and 272 × 8 = 2,176. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 4,080 in the 272 times table?
Yes: 4,080 ÷ 272 = 15 with no remainder. 4,081 is not, because dividing it by 272 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 272 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.
