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 478 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 478 × k = 470 × k + 8 × k.
- Each answer is 478 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 478.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 478 times table is double the answer in the 239 times table: 239 × 6 = 1,434, so 478 × 6 = 2,868. To multiply 478 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 478 away: 4,780 − 478 = 4,302. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 478: 4,780 + 478 = 5,258. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 478 → 956 → 1,912.
Every multiple of 478 is at least 478, so there are none below 100 and 2 below 1,000. A number is in the 478 times table exactly when it divides by 478 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 478 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: 478 × 10 = 4,780, and 478 × 100 = 47,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 4,780 is 2,390.
Using the 478 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 478 × 7 = 3,346, you know 3,346 ÷ 478 = 7 and 3,346 ÷ 7 = 478. 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
8 × 478 = 3,824 pencils. - Tickets cost $478 each. How much do 11 tickets cost?
Answer
11 × $478 = $5,258. - 3,346 chairs are set out in rows of 478. How many rows are there?
Answer
3,346 ÷ 478 = 7 rows. - A plant grows 478 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 9 weeks?

Questions
What is 478 × 12?
5,736.
What is half of 478 × 8?
478 × 8 = 3,824, and half of that is 1,912, which is 478 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 478 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 478 contain nothing.
What is 478 × 7 and 478 × 8?
478 × 7 = 3,346 and 478 × 8 = 3,824. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 7,170 in the 478 times table?
Yes: 7,170 ÷ 478 = 15 with no remainder. 7,171 is not, because dividing it by 478 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 478 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.
