Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
- Split it into tens and ones: 559 × k = 550 × k + 9 × k.
- Each answer is 559 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 559.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 559 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 559 away: 5,590 − 559 = 5,031. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 559: 5,590 + 559 = 6,149. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 559 → 1,118 → 2,236.
Every multiple of 559 is at least 559, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 559 times table exactly when it divides by 559 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 559 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 559 × 1 = 559 is odd, 559 × 2 = 1,118 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 559 × 10 = 5,590, and 559 × 100 = 55,900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 5,590 is 2,795.
Using the 559 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 559 × 7 = 3,913, you know 3,913 ÷ 559 = 7 and 3,913 ÷ 7 = 559. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions
What is 559 × 12?
6,708.
What is half of 559 × 8?
559 × 8 = 4,472, and half of that is 2,236, which is 559 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 559 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 559 contain nothing.
What is 559 × 7 and 559 × 8?
559 × 7 = 3,913 and 559 × 8 = 4,472. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Yes: 8,385 ÷ 559 = 15 with no remainder. 8,386 is not, because dividing it by 559 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 559 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.
