Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 6, 2, 8, 4, 0.
- Every answer is even, because 656 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 656 × k = 650 × k + 6 × k.
- Each answer is 656 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 656.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 656 times table is double the answer in the 328 times table: 328 × 6 = 1,968, so 656 × 6 = 3,936. To multiply 656 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 656 away: 6,560 − 656 = 5,904. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 656: 6,560 + 656 = 7,216. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 656 → 1,312 → 2,624.
Every multiple of 656 is at least 656, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 656 times table exactly when it divides by 656 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 656 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: 656 × 10 = 6,560, and 656 × 100 = 65,600. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 6,560 is 3,280.
Using the 656 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 656 × 7 = 4,592, you know 4,592 ÷ 656 = 7 and 4,592 ÷ 7 = 656. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions
What is 656 × 12?
7,872.
What is half of 656 × 8?
656 × 8 = 5,248, and half of that is 2,624, which is 656 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 656 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 656 contain nothing.
What is 656 × 7 and 656 × 8?
656 × 7 = 4,592 and 656 × 8 = 5,248. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 9,840 in the 656 times table?
Yes: 9,840 ÷ 656 = 15 with no remainder. 9,841 is not, because dividing it by 656 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 656 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.
