Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 2, 4, 6, 8, 0.
- Every answer is even, because 462 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 462 × k = 460 × k + 2 × k.
- Each answer is 462 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 462.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 462 times table is double the answer in the 231 times table: 231 × 6 = 1,386, so 462 × 6 = 2,772. To multiply 462 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 462 away: 4,620 − 462 = 4,158. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 462: 4,620 + 462 = 5,082. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 462 → 924 → 1,848.
Every multiple of 462 is at least 462, so there are none below 100 and 2 below 1,000. A number is in the 462 times table exactly when it divides by 462 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 462 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: 462 × 10 = 4,620, and 462 × 100 = 46,200. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 4,620 is 2,310.
Using the 462 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 462 × 7 = 3,234, you know 3,234 ÷ 462 = 7 and 3,234 ÷ 7 = 462. 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:

Answer
7 × 462 = 3,234 pencils. - Tickets cost $462 each. How much do 11 tickets cost?
Answer
11 × $462 = $5,082. - 1,848 chairs are set out in rows of 462. How many rows are there?
Answer
1,848 ÷ 462 = 4 rows. - A plant grows 462 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 7 weeks?
Answer
7 × 462 = 3,234 millimetres.
Questions
What is 462 × 12?
5,544.
What is half of 462 × 8?
462 × 8 = 3,696, and half of that is 1,848, which is 462 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 462 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 462 contain nothing.
What is 462 × 7 and 462 × 8?
462 × 7 = 3,234 and 462 × 8 = 3,696. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 6,930 in the 462 times table?
Yes: 6,930 ÷ 462 = 15 with no remainder. 6,931 is not, because dividing it by 462 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 462 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.
