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 278 is even.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 278 × k = 270 × k + 8 × k.
  • Each answer is 278 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 278.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 278 times table is double the answer in the 139 times table: 139 × 6 = 834, so 278 × 6 = 1,668. To multiply 278 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 278 away: 2,780 − 278 = 2,502. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 278: 2,780 + 278 = 3,058. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 278 → 556 → 1,112.

Every multiple of 278 is at least 278, so there are none below 100 and 3 below 1,000. A number is in the 278 times table exactly when it divides by 278 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 278 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: 278 × 10 = 2,780, and 278 × 100 = 27,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,780 is 1,390.

Using the 278 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 278 × 7 = 1,946, you know 1,946 ÷ 278 = 7 and 1,946 ÷ 7 = 278. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
