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 388 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 388 × k = 380 × k + 8 × k.
- Each answer is 388 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 388.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 388 times table is double the answer in the 194 times table: 194 × 6 = 1,164, so 388 × 6 = 2,328. To multiply 388 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 388 away: 3,880 − 388 = 3,492. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 388: 3,880 + 388 = 4,268. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 388 → 776 → 1,552.
Every multiple of 388 is at least 388, so there are none below 100 and 2 below 1,000. A number is in the 388 times table exactly when it divides by 388 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 388 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: 388 × 10 = 3,880, and 388 × 100 = 38,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 3,880 is 1,940.
Using the 388 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 388 × 7 = 2,716, you know 2,716 ÷ 388 = 7 and 2,716 ÷ 7 = 388. 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 388 pencils. How many pencils are in 3 boxes?
Answer
3 × 388 = 1,164 pencils. - Tickets cost $388 each. How much do 4 tickets cost?
Answer
4 × $388 = $1,552. - 1,940 chairs are set out in rows of 388. How many rows are there?
Answer
1,940 ÷ 388 = 5 rows. - A plant grows 388 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 6 weeks?
Answer
6 × 388 = 2,328 millimetres.
Questions
What is 388 × 12?
4,656.
What is half of 388 × 8?
388 × 8 = 3,104, and half of that is 1,552, which is 388 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 388 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 388 contain nothing.
What is 388 × 7 and 388 × 8?
388 × 7 = 2,716 and 388 × 8 = 3,104. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 5,820 in the 388 times table?
Yes: 5,820 ÷ 388 = 15 with no remainder. 5,821 is not, because dividing it by 388 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 388 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.
