Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0.
  • The digits of every answer add up to a multiple of 9.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 531 × k = 530 × k + 1 × k.
  • Each answer is 531 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 531.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 531 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 531 away: 5,310 − 531 = 4,779. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 531: 5,310 + 531 = 5,841. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 531 → 1,062 → 2,124.

Every multiple of 531 is at least 531, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 531 times table exactly when it divides by 531 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 531 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 531 × 1 = 531 is odd, 531 × 2 = 1,062 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 531 × 10 = 5,310, and 531 × 100 = 53,100. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 5,310 is 2,655.

Using the 531 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 531 × 7 = 3,717, you know 3,717 ÷ 531 = 7 and 3,717 ÷ 7 = 531. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 531 × 12?

6,372.

What is half of 531 × 8?

531 × 8 = 4,248, and half of that is 2,124, which is 531 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 531 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 531 contain nothing.

What is 531 × 7 and 531 × 8?

531 × 7 = 3,717 and 531 × 8 = 4,248. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 7,965 in the 531 times table?

Yes: 7,965 ÷ 531 = 15 with no remainder. 7,966 is not, because dividing it by 531 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 531 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.
