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.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 581 × k = 580 × k + 1 × k.
  • Each answer is 581 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 581.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 581 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 581 away: 5,810 − 581 = 5,229. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 581: 5,810 + 581 = 6,391. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 581 → 1,162 → 2,324.

Every multiple of 581 is at least 581, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 581 times table exactly when it divides by 581 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 581 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 581 × 1 = 581 is odd, 581 × 2 = 1,162 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 581 × 10 = 5,810, and 581 × 100 = 58,100. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 5,810 is 2,905.

Using the 581 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 581 × 7 = 4,067, you know 4,067 ÷ 581 = 7 and 4,067 ÷ 7 = 581. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
