Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 6, 2, 8, 4, 0.
- Every answer is even, because 506 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 506 × k = 500 × k + 6 × k.
- Each answer is 506 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 506.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 506 times table is double the answer in the 253 times table: 253 × 6 = 1,518, so 506 × 6 = 3,036. To multiply 506 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 506 away: 5,060 − 506 = 4,554. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 506: 5,060 + 506 = 5,566. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 506 → 1,012 → 2,024.
Every multiple of 506 is at least 506, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 506 times table exactly when it divides by 506 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 506 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: 506 × 10 = 5,060, and 506 × 100 = 50,600. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 5,060 is 2,530.
Using the 506 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 506 × 7 = 3,542, you know 3,542 ÷ 506 = 7 and 3,542 ÷ 7 = 506. 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 506 pencils. How many pencils are in 4 boxes?
Answer
4 × 506 = 2,024 pencils. - Tickets cost $506 each. How much do 9 tickets cost?
Answer
9 × $506 = $4,554. - 3,036 chairs are set out in rows of 506. How many rows are there?
Answer
3,036 ÷ 506 = 6 rows. - A plant grows 506 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 9 weeks?
Answer
9 × 506 = 4,554 millimetres.
Questions
What is 506 × 12?
6,072.
What is half of 506 × 8?
506 × 8 = 4,048, and half of that is 2,024, which is 506 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 506 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 506 contain nothing.
What is 506 × 7 and 506 × 8?
506 × 7 = 3,542 and 506 × 8 = 4,048. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 7,590 in the 506 times table?
Yes: 7,590 ÷ 506 = 15 with no remainder. 7,591 is not, because dividing it by 506 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 506 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.
