Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 4, 8, 2, 6, 0.
  • Every answer is even, because 74 is even.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 74 × k = 70 × k + 4 × k.
  • Each answer is 74 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 74.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 74 times table is double the answer in the 37 times table: 37 × 6 = 222, so 74 × 6 = 444. To multiply 74 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 74 away: 740 − 74 = 666. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 74: 740 + 74 = 814. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 74 → 148 → 296.

There are 1 multiples of 74 below 100, and 13 below 1,000. A number is in the 74 times table exactly when it divides by 74 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 74 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: 74 × 10 = 740, and 74 × 100 = 7,400. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 740 is 370.

Using the 74 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 74 × 7 = 518, you know 518 ÷ 74 = 7 and 518 ÷ 7 = 74. 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:

    Answer7 × 74 = 518 pencils.
  2. Tickets cost $74 each. How much do 7 tickets cost?
    Answer7 × $74 = $518.
  3. 296 chairs are set out in rows of 74. How many rows are there?
    Answer296 ÷ 74 = 4 rows.
  4. A plant grows 74 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 9 weeks?

Questions

What is 74 × 12?

888.

What is half of 74 × 8?

74 × 8 = 592, and half of that is 296, which is 74 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 74 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 74 contain nothing.

What is 74 × 7 and 74 × 8?

74 × 7 = 518 and 74 × 8 = 592. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 1,110 in the 74 times table?

Yes: 1,110 ÷ 74 = 15 with no remainder. 1,111 is not, because dividing it by 74 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 74 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.
