Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 493 × k = 490 × k + 3 × k.
  • Each answer is 493 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 493.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 493 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 493 away: 4,930 − 493 = 4,437. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 493: 4,930 + 493 = 5,423. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 493 → 986 → 1,972.

Every multiple of 493 is at least 493, so there are none below 100 and 2 below 1,000. A number is in the 493 times table exactly when it divides by 493 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 493 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 493 × 1 = 493 is odd, 493 × 2 = 986 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 493 × 10 = 4,930, and 493 × 100 = 49,300. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 4,930 is 2,465.

Using the 493 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 493 × 7 = 3,451, you know 3,451 ÷ 493 = 7 and 3,451 ÷ 7 = 493. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
