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.
  • The digits of every answer add up to a multiple of 9.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 279 × k = 270 × k + 9 × k.
  • Each answer is 279 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 279.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 279 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 279 away: 2,790 − 279 = 2,511. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 279: 2,790 + 279 = 3,069. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 279 → 558 → 1,116.

Every multiple of 279 is at least 279, so there are none below 100 and 3 below 1,000. A number is in the 279 times table exactly when it divides by 279 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 279 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 279 × 1 = 279 is odd, 279 × 2 = 558 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 279 × 10 = 2,790, and 279 × 100 = 27,900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,790 is 1,395.

Using the 279 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 279 × 7 = 1,953, you know 1,953 ÷ 279 = 7 and 1,953 ÷ 7 = 279. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 279 × 12?

3,348.

What is half of 279 × 8?

279 × 8 = 2,232, and half of that is 1,116, which is 279 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 279 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 279 contain nothing.

What is 279 × 7 and 279 × 8?

279 × 7 = 1,953 and 279 × 8 = 2,232. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
