Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 587 × k = 580 × k + 7 × k.
  • Each answer is 587 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 587.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 587 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 587 away: 5,870 − 587 = 5,283. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 587: 5,870 + 587 = 6,457. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 587 → 1,174 → 2,348.

Every multiple of 587 is at least 587, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 587 times table exactly when it divides by 587 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 587 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 587 × 1 = 587 is odd, 587 × 2 = 1,174 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 587 × 10 = 5,870, and 587 × 100 = 58,700. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 5,870 is 2,935.

Using the 587 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 587 × 7 = 4,109, you know 4,109 ÷ 587 = 7 and 4,109 ÷ 7 = 587. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
