Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0.
- Split it into tens and ones: 343 × k = 340 × k + 3 × k.
- Each answer is 343 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 343.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 343 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 343 away: 3,430 − 343 = 3,087. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 343: 3,430 + 343 = 3,773. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 343 → 686 → 1,372.
Every multiple of 343 is at least 343, so there are none below 100 and 2 below 1,000. A number is in the 343 times table exactly when it divides by 343 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 343 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 343 × 1 = 343 is odd, 343 × 2 = 686 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 343 × 10 = 3,430, and 343 × 100 = 34,300. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 3,430 is 1,715.
Using the 343 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 343 × 7 = 2,401, you know 2,401 ÷ 343 = 7 and 2,401 ÷ 7 = 343. 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 343 pencils. How many pencils are in 7 boxes?
Answer
7 × 343 = 2,401 pencils. - Tickets cost $343 each. How much do 7 tickets cost?
Answer
7 × $343 = $2,401. - 2,401 chairs are set out in rows of 343. How many rows are there?
Answer
2,401 ÷ 343 = 7 rows. - A plant grows 343 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 10 weeks?
Answer
10 × 343 = 3,430 millimetres.
Questions
What is 343 × 12?
4,116.
What is half of 343 × 8?
343 × 8 = 2,744, and half of that is 1,372, which is 343 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 343 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 343 contain nothing.
What is 343 × 7 and 343 × 8?
343 × 7 = 2,401 and 343 × 8 = 2,744. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 5,145 in the 343 times table?
Yes: 5,145 ÷ 343 = 15 with no remainder. 5,146 is not, because dividing it by 343 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 343 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.
