Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 8, 6, 4, 2, 0.
- Every answer is even, because 508 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 508 × k = 500 × k + 8 × k.
- Each answer is 508 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 508.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 508 times table is double the answer in the 254 times table: 254 × 6 = 1,524, so 508 × 6 = 3,048. To multiply 508 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 508 away: 5,080 − 508 = 4,572. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 508: 5,080 + 508 = 5,588. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 508 → 1,016 → 2,032.
Every multiple of 508 is at least 508, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 508 times table exactly when it divides by 508 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 508 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: 508 × 10 = 5,080, and 508 × 100 = 50,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 5,080 is 2,540.
Using the 508 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 508 × 7 = 3,556, you know 3,556 ÷ 508 = 7 and 3,556 ÷ 7 = 508. 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 508 pencils. How many pencils are in 4 boxes?
Answer
4 × 508 = 2,032 pencils. - Tickets cost $508 each. How much do 11 tickets cost?
Answer
11 × $508 = $5,588. - 1,016 chairs are set out in rows of 508. How many rows are there?
Answer
1,016 ÷ 508 = 2 rows. - A plant grows 508 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 12 weeks?
Answer
12 × 508 = 6,096 millimetres.
Questions
What is 508 × 12?
6,096.
What is half of 508 × 8?
508 × 8 = 4,064, and half of that is 2,032, which is 508 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 508 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 508 contain nothing.
What is 508 × 7 and 508 × 8?
508 × 7 = 3,556 and 508 × 8 = 4,064. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 7,620 in the 508 times table?
Yes: 7,620 ÷ 508 = 15 with no remainder. 7,621 is not, because dividing it by 508 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 508 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.
