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: 39 × k = 30 × k + 9 × k.
- Each answer is 39 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 39.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 39 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 39 away: 390 − 39 = 351. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 39: 390 + 39 = 429. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 39 → 78 → 156.
There are 2 multiples of 39 below 100, and 25 below 1,000. A number is in the 39 times table exactly when it divides by 39 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 39 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 39 × 1 = 39 is odd, 39 × 2 = 78 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 39 × 10 = 390, and 39 × 100 = 3,900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 390 is 195.
Using the 39 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 39 × 7 = 273, you know 273 ÷ 39 = 7 and 273 ÷ 7 = 39. 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 39 pencils. How many pencils are in 5 boxes?
Answer
5 × 39 = 195 pencils. - Tickets cost $39 each. How much do 6 tickets cost?
Answer
6 × $39 = $234. - 351 chairs are set out in rows of 39. How many rows are there?
Answer
351 ÷ 39 = 9 rows. - A plant grows 39 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 9 weeks?
Answer
9 × 39 = 351 millimetres.
Questions
What is 39 × 12?
468.
What is half of 39 × 8?
39 × 8 = 312, and half of that is 156, which is 39 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 39 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 39 contain nothing.
What is 39 × 7 and 39 × 8?
39 × 7 = 273 and 39 × 8 = 312. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 585 in the 39 times table?
Yes: 585 ÷ 39 = 15 with no remainder. 586 is not, because dividing it by 39 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 39 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.
