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: 49 × k = 40 × k + 9 × k.
- Each answer is 49 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 49.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 49 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 49 away: 490 − 49 = 441. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 49: 490 + 49 = 539. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 49 → 98 → 196.
There are 2 multiples of 49 below 100, and 20 below 1,000. A number is in the 49 times table exactly when it divides by 49 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 49 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 49 × 1 = 49 is odd, 49 × 2 = 98 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 49 × 10 = 490, and 49 × 100 = 4,900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 490 is 245.
Using the 49 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 49 × 7 = 343, you know 343 ÷ 49 = 7 and 343 ÷ 7 = 49. 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 49 pencils. How many pencils are in 5 boxes?
Answer
5 × 49 = 245 pencils. - Tickets cost $49 each. How much do 8 tickets cost?
Answer
8 × $49 = $392. - 196 chairs are set out in rows of 49. How many rows are there?
Answer
196 ÷ 49 = 4 rows. - A plant grows 49 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 10 weeks?
Answer
10 × 49 = 490 millimetres.
Questions
What is 49 × 12?
588.
What is half of 49 × 8?
49 × 8 = 392, and half of that is 196, which is 49 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 49 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 49 contain nothing.
What is 49 × 7 and 49 × 8?
49 × 7 = 343 and 49 × 8 = 392. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 735 in the 49 times table?
Yes: 735 ÷ 49 = 15 with no remainder. 736 is not, because dividing it by 49 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 49 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.
