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: 579 × k = 570 × k + 9 × k.
- Each answer is 579 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 579.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 579 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 579 away: 5,790 − 579 = 5,211. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 579: 5,790 + 579 = 6,369. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 579 → 1,158 → 2,316.
Every multiple of 579 is at least 579, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 579 times table exactly when it divides by 579 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 579 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 579 × 1 = 579 is odd, 579 × 2 = 1,158 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 579 × 10 = 5,790, and 579 × 100 = 57,900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 5,790 is 2,895.
Using the 579 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 579 × 7 = 4,053, you know 4,053 ÷ 579 = 7 and 4,053 ÷ 7 = 579. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Answer
6 × 579 = 3,474 pencils. - Tickets cost $579 each. How much do 7 tickets cost?
Answer
7 × $579 = $4,053. - 1,158 chairs are set out in rows of 579. How many rows are there?
Answer
1,158 ÷ 579 = 2 rows. - A plant grows 579 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 6 weeks?

Questions
What is 579 × 12?
6,948.
What is half of 579 × 8?
579 × 8 = 4,632, and half of that is 2,316, which is 579 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 579 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 579 contain nothing.
What is 579 × 7 and 579 × 8?
579 × 7 = 4,053 and 579 × 8 = 4,632. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 8,685 in the 579 times table?
Yes: 8,685 ÷ 579 = 15 with no remainder. 8,686 is not, because dividing it by 579 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 579 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.
