Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 497 × k = 490 × k + 7 × k.
  • Each answer is 497 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 497.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 497 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 497 away: 4,970 − 497 = 4,473. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 497: 4,970 + 497 = 5,467. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 497 → 994 → 1,988.

Every multiple of 497 is at least 497, so there are none below 100 and 2 below 1,000. A number is in the 497 times table exactly when it divides by 497 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 497 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 497 × 1 = 497 is odd, 497 × 2 = 994 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 497 × 10 = 4,970, and 497 × 100 = 49,700. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 4,970 is 2,485.

Using the 497 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 497 × 7 = 3,479, you know 3,479 ÷ 497 = 7 and 3,479 ÷ 7 = 497. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 497 × 12?

5,964.

What is half of 497 × 8?

497 × 8 = 3,976, and half of that is 1,988, which is 497 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
