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.
- The digits of every answer add up to a multiple of 9.
- Split it into tens and ones: 297 × k = 290 × k + 7 × k.
- Each answer is 297 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 297.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 297 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 297 away: 2,970 − 297 = 2,673. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 297: 2,970 + 297 = 3,267. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 297 → 594 → 1,188.
Every multiple of 297 is at least 297, so there are none below 100 and 3 below 1,000. A number is in the 297 times table exactly when it divides by 297 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 297 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 297 × 1 = 297 is odd, 297 × 2 = 594 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 297 × 10 = 2,970, and 297 × 100 = 29,700. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 2,970 is 1,485.
Using the 297 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 297 × 7 = 2,079, you know 2,079 ÷ 297 = 7 and 2,079 ÷ 7 = 297. 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 297 pencils. How many pencils are in 5 boxes?
Answer
5 × 297 = 1,485 pencils. - Tickets cost $297 each. How much do 6 tickets cost?
Answer
6 × $297 = $1,782. - 1,485 chairs are set out in rows of 297. How many rows are there?
Answer
1,485 ÷ 297 = 5 rows. - A plant grows 297 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 9 weeks?
Answer
9 × 297 = 2,673 millimetres.
Questions
What is 297 × 12?
3,564.
What is half of 297 × 8?
297 × 8 = 2,376, and half of that is 1,188, which is 297 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 297 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 297 contain nothing.
What is 297 × 7 and 297 × 8?
297 × 7 = 2,079 and 297 × 8 = 2,376. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 4,455 in the 297 times table?
Yes: 4,455 ÷ 297 = 15 with no remainder. 4,456 is not, because dividing it by 297 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 297 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.
