Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 2, 4, 6, 8, 0.
  • Every answer is even, because 512 is even.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 512 × k = 510 × k + 2 × k.
  • Each answer is 512 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 512.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 512 times table is double the answer in the 256 times table: 256 × 6 = 1,536, so 512 × 6 = 3,072. To multiply 512 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 512 away: 5,120 − 512 = 4,608. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 512: 5,120 + 512 = 5,632. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 512 → 1,024 → 2,048.

Every multiple of 512 is at least 512, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 512 times table exactly when it divides by 512 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 512 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: 512 × 10 = 5,120, and 512 × 100 = 51,200. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 5,120 is 2,560.

Using the 512 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 512 × 7 = 3,584, you know 3,584 ÷ 512 = 7 and 3,584 ÷ 7 = 512. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 512 × 12?

6,144.

What is half of 512 × 8?

512 × 8 = 4,096, and half of that is 2,048, which is 512 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 512 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 512 contain nothing.

What is 512 × 7 and 512 × 8?

512 × 7 = 3,584 and 512 × 8 = 4,096. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 7,680 in the 512 times table?

Yes: 7,680 ÷ 512 = 15 with no remainder. 7,681 is not, because dividing it by 512 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 512 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.
