Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 4, 8, 2, 6, 0.
  • Every answer is even, because 494 is even.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 494 × k = 490 × k + 4 × k.
  • Each answer is 494 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 494.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 494 times table is double the answer in the 247 times table: 247 × 6 = 1,482, so 494 × 6 = 2,964. To multiply 494 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 494 away: 4,940 − 494 = 4,446. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 494: 4,940 + 494 = 5,434. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 494 → 988 → 1,976.

Every multiple of 494 is at least 494, so there are none below 100 and 2 below 1,000. A number is in the 494 times table exactly when it divides by 494 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 494 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: 494 × 10 = 4,940, and 494 × 100 = 49,400. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 4,940 is 2,470.

Using the 494 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 494 × 7 = 3,458, you know 3,458 ÷ 494 = 7 and 3,458 ÷ 7 = 494. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
