Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 2, 4, 6, 8, 0.
  • Every answer is even, because 342 is even.
  • The digits of every answer add up to a multiple of 9.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 342 × k = 340 × k + 2 × k.
  • Each answer is 342 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 342.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 342 times table is double the answer in the 171 times table: 171 × 6 = 1,026, so 342 × 6 = 2,052. To multiply 342 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 342 away: 3,420 − 342 = 3,078. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 342: 3,420 + 342 = 3,762. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 342 → 684 → 1,368.

Every multiple of 342 is at least 342, so there are none below 100 and 2 below 1,000. A number is in the 342 times table exactly when it divides by 342 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 342 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: 342 × 10 = 3,420, and 342 × 100 = 34,200. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 3,420 is 1,710.

Using the 342 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 342 × 7 = 2,394, you know 2,394 ÷ 342 = 7 and 2,394 ÷ 7 = 342. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 342 × 12?

4,104.

What is half of 342 × 8?

342 × 8 = 2,736, and half of that is 1,368, which is 342 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 342 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 342 contain nothing.

What is 342 × 7 and 342 × 8?

342 × 7 = 2,394 and 342 × 8 = 2,736. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 5,130 in the 342 times table?

Yes: 5,130 ÷ 342 = 15 with no remainder. 5,131 is not, because dividing it by 342 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 342 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.
