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 688 is even.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 688 × k = 680 × k + 8 × k.
  • Each answer is 688 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 688.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 688 times table is double the answer in the 344 times table: 344 × 6 = 2,064, so 688 × 6 = 4,128. To multiply 688 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 688 away: 6,880 − 688 = 6,192. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 688: 6,880 + 688 = 7,568. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 688 → 1,376 → 2,752.

Every multiple of 688 is at least 688, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 688 times table exactly when it divides by 688 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 688 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: 688 × 10 = 6,880, and 688 × 100 = 68,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 6,880 is 3,440.

Using the 688 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 688 × 7 = 4,816, you know 4,816 ÷ 688 = 7 and 4,816 ÷ 7 = 688. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
