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.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 397 × k = 390 × k + 7 × k.
  • Each answer is 397 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 397.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 397 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 397 away: 3,970 − 397 = 3,573. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 397: 3,970 + 397 = 4,367. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 397 → 794 → 1,588.

Every multiple of 397 is at least 397, so there are none below 100 and 2 below 1,000. A number is in the 397 times table exactly when it divides by 397 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 397 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 397 × 1 = 397 is odd, 397 × 2 = 794 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 397 × 10 = 3,970, and 397 × 100 = 39,700. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 3,970 is 1,985.

Using the 397 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 397 × 7 = 2,779, you know 2,779 ÷ 397 = 7 and 2,779 ÷ 7 = 397. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
