Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 491 × k = 490 × k + 1 × k.
  • Each answer is 491 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 491.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 491 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 491 away: 4,910 − 491 = 4,419. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 491: 4,910 + 491 = 5,401. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 491 → 982 → 1,964.

Every multiple of 491 is at least 491, so there are none below 100 and 2 below 1,000. A number is in the 491 times table exactly when it divides by 491 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 491 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 491 × 1 = 491 is odd, 491 × 2 = 982 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 491 × 10 = 4,910, and 491 × 100 = 49,100. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 4,910 is 2,455.

Using the 491 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 491 × 7 = 3,437, you know 3,437 ÷ 491 = 7 and 3,437 ÷ 7 = 491. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
