Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 287 × k = 280 × k + 7 × k.
  • Each answer is 287 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 287.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 287 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 287 away: 2,870 − 287 = 2,583. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 287: 2,870 + 287 = 3,157. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 287 → 574 → 1,148.

Every multiple of 287 is at least 287, so there are none below 100 and 3 below 1,000. A number is in the 287 times table exactly when it divides by 287 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 287 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 287 × 1 = 287 is odd, 287 × 2 = 574 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 287 × 10 = 2,870, and 287 × 100 = 28,700. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,870 is 1,435.

Using the 287 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 287 × 7 = 2,009, you know 2,009 ÷ 287 = 7 and 2,009 ÷ 7 = 287. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 287 × 12?

3,444.

What is half of 287 × 8?

287 × 8 = 2,296, and half of that is 1,148, which is 287 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 287 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 287 contain nothing.

What is 287 × 7 and 287 × 8?

287 × 7 = 2,009 and 287 × 8 = 2,296. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 4,305 in the 287 times table?

Yes: 4,305 ÷ 287 = 15 with no remainder. 4,306 is not, because dividing it by 287 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 287 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.
