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: 487 × k = 480 × k + 7 × k.
  • Each answer is 487 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 487.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 487 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 487 away: 4,870 − 487 = 4,383. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 487: 4,870 + 487 = 5,357. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 487 → 974 → 1,948.

Every multiple of 487 is at least 487, so there are none below 100 and 2 below 1,000. A number is in the 487 times table exactly when it divides by 487 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 487 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 487 × 1 = 487 is odd, 487 × 2 = 974 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 487 × 10 = 4,870, and 487 × 100 = 48,700. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 4,870 is 2,435.

Using the 487 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 487 × 7 = 3,409, you know 3,409 ÷ 487 = 7 and 3,409 ÷ 7 = 487. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 487 × 12?

5,844.

What is half of 487 × 8?

487 × 8 = 3,896, and half of that is 1,948, which is 487 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 487 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 487 contain nothing.

What is 487 × 7 and 487 × 8?

487 × 7 = 3,409 and 487 × 8 = 3,896. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
