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 288 is even.
- The digits of every answer add up to a multiple of 9.
- Split it into tens and ones: 288 × k = 280 × k + 8 × k.
- Each answer is 288 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 288.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 288 times table is double the answer in the 144 times table: 144 × 6 = 864, so 288 × 6 = 1,728. To multiply 288 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 288 away: 2,880 − 288 = 2,592. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 288: 2,880 + 288 = 3,168. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 288 → 576 → 1,152.
Every multiple of 288 is at least 288, so there are none below 100 and 3 below 1,000. A number is in the 288 times table exactly when it divides by 288 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 288 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: 288 × 10 = 2,880, and 288 × 100 = 28,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,880 is 1,440.
Using the 288 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 288 × 7 = 2,016, you know 2,016 ÷ 288 = 7 and 2,016 ÷ 7 = 288. 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 288 pencils. How many pencils are in 5 boxes?
Answer
5 × 288 = 1,440 pencils. - Tickets cost $288 each. How much do 4 tickets cost?
Answer
4 × $288 = $1,152. - 1,728 chairs are set out in rows of 288. How many rows are there?
Answer
1,728 ÷ 288 = 6 rows. - A plant grows 288 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 12 weeks?
Answer
12 × 288 = 3,456 millimetres.
Questions
What is 288 × 12?
3,456.
What is half of 288 × 8?
288 × 8 = 2,304, and half of that is 1,152, which is 288 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 288 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 288 contain nothing.
What is 288 × 7 and 288 × 8?
288 × 7 = 2,016 and 288 × 8 = 2,304. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 4,320 in the 288 times table?
Yes: 4,320 ÷ 288 = 15 with no remainder. 4,321 is not, because dividing it by 288 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 288 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.
