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: 387 × k = 380 × k + 7 × k.
- Each answer is 387 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 387.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 387 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 387 away: 3,870 − 387 = 3,483. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 387: 3,870 + 387 = 4,257. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 387 → 774 → 1,548.
Every multiple of 387 is at least 387, so there are none below 100 and 2 below 1,000. A number is in the 387 times table exactly when it divides by 387 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 387 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 387 × 1 = 387 is odd, 387 × 2 = 774 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 387 × 10 = 3,870, and 387 × 100 = 38,700. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 3,870 is 1,935.
Using the 387 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 387 × 7 = 2,709, you know 2,709 ÷ 387 = 7 and 2,709 ÷ 7 = 387. 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 387 pencils. How many pencils are in 3 boxes?
Answer
3 × 387 = 1,161 pencils. - Tickets cost $387 each. How much do 4 tickets cost?
Answer
4 × $387 = $1,548. - 3,096 chairs are set out in rows of 387. How many rows are there?
Answer
3,096 ÷ 387 = 8 rows. - A plant grows 387 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 10 weeks?
Answer
10 × 387 = 3,870 millimetres.
Questions
What is 387 × 12?
4,644.
What is half of 387 × 8?
387 × 8 = 3,096, and half of that is 1,548, which is 387 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 387 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 387 contain nothing.
What is 387 × 7 and 387 × 8?
387 × 7 = 2,709 and 387 × 8 = 3,096. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 5,805 in the 387 times table?
Yes: 5,805 ÷ 387 = 15 with no remainder. 5,806 is not, because dividing it by 387 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 387 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.
