Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 389 × k = 380 × k + 9 × k.
  • Each answer is 389 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 389.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 389 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 389 away: 3,890 − 389 = 3,501. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 389: 3,890 + 389 = 4,279. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 389 → 778 → 1,556.

Every multiple of 389 is at least 389, so there are none below 100 and 2 below 1,000. A number is in the 389 times table exactly when it divides by 389 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 389 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 389 × 1 = 389 is odd, 389 × 2 = 778 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 389 × 10 = 3,890, and 389 × 100 = 38,900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 3,890 is 1,945.

Using the 389 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 389 × 7 = 2,723, you know 2,723 ÷ 389 = 7 and 2,723 ÷ 7 = 389. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
