Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 8, 6, 4, 2, 0.
- Every answer is even, because 638 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 638 × k = 630 × k + 8 × k.
- Each answer is 638 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 638.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 638 times table is double the answer in the 319 times table: 319 × 6 = 1,914, so 638 × 6 = 3,828. To multiply 638 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 638 away: 6,380 − 638 = 5,742. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 638: 6,380 + 638 = 7,018. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 638 → 1,276 → 2,552.
Every multiple of 638 is at least 638, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 638 times table exactly when it divides by 638 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 638 is even, every answer in its table is even, which is a quick way to catch a wrong answer. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 638 × 10 = 6,380, and 638 × 100 = 63,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 6,380 is 3,190.
Using the 638 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 638 × 7 = 4,466, you know 4,466 ÷ 638 = 7 and 4,466 ÷ 7 = 638. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Word problems
Times tables are most useful when you can spot them in a question. Try these, then open each one to check:

Answer
4 × 638 = 2,552 pencils. - Tickets cost $638 each. How much do 11 tickets cost?
Answer
11 × $638 = $7,018. - 1,914 chairs are set out in rows of 638. How many rows are there?
Answer
1,914 ÷ 638 = 3 rows. - A plant grows 638 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 7 weeks?

Questions
What is 638 × 12?
7,656.
What is half of 638 × 8?
638 × 8 = 5,104, and half of that is 2,552, which is 638 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 638 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 638 contain nothing.
What is 638 × 7 and 638 × 8?
638 × 7 = 4,466 and 638 × 8 = 5,104. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 9,570 in the 638 times table?
Yes: 9,570 ÷ 638 = 15 with no remainder. 9,571 is not, because dividing it by 638 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 638 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.
