Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 1: 0.
- Every answer is even, because 490 is even.
- Every answer ends in 0 or 5.
- Split it into tens and ones: 490 × k = 490 × k + 0 × k.
- Each answer is 490 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 490.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 490 times table is double the answer in the 245 times table: 245 × 6 = 1,470, so 490 × 6 = 2,940. To multiply 490 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 490 away: 4,900 − 490 = 4,410. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 490: 4,900 + 490 = 5,390. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 490 → 980 → 1,960.
Every multiple of 490 is at least 490, so there are none below 100 and 2 below 1,000. A number is in the 490 times table exactly when it divides by 490 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 490 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: 490 × 10 = 4,900, and 490 × 100 = 49,000. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 4,900 is 2,450.
Using the 490 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 490 × 7 = 3,430, you know 3,430 ÷ 490 = 7 and 3,430 ÷ 7 = 490. 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 490 pencils. How many pencils are in 9 boxes?
Answer
9 × 490 = 4,410 pencils. - Tickets cost $490 each. How much do 5 tickets cost?
Answer
5 × $490 = $2,450. - 1,470 chairs are set out in rows of 490. How many rows are there?
Answer
1,470 ÷ 490 = 3 rows. - A plant grows 490 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 10 weeks?
Answer
10 × 490 = 4,900 millimetres.
Questions
What is 490 × 12?
5,880.
What is half of 490 × 8?
490 × 8 = 3,920, and half of that is 1,960, which is 490 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 490 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 490 contain nothing.
What is 490 × 7 and 490 × 8?
490 × 7 = 3,430 and 490 × 8 = 3,920. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 7,350 in the 490 times table?
Yes: 7,350 ÷ 490 = 15 with no remainder. 7,351 is not, because dividing it by 490 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 490 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.
