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: 59 × k = 50 × k + 9 × k.
  • Each answer is 59 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 59.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 59 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 59 away: 590 − 59 = 531. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 59: 590 + 59 = 649. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 59 → 118 → 236.

There are 1 multiples of 59 below 100, and 16 below 1,000. A number is in the 59 times table exactly when it divides by 59 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 59 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 59 × 1 = 59 is odd, 59 × 2 = 118 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 59 × 10 = 590, and 59 × 100 = 5,900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 590 is 295.

Using the 59 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 59 × 7 = 413, you know 413 ÷ 59 = 7 and 413 ÷ 7 = 59. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 59 × 12?

708.

What is half of 59 × 8?

59 × 8 = 472, and half of that is 236, which is 59 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 59 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 59 contain nothing.

What is 59 × 7 and 59 × 8?

59 × 7 = 413 and 59 × 8 = 472. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 885 in the 59 times table?

Yes: 885 ÷ 59 = 15 with no remainder. 886 is not, because dividing it by 59 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 59 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.
