Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 2, 4, 6, 8, 0.
- Every answer is even, because 742 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 742 × k = 740 × k + 2 × k.
- Each answer is 742 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 742.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 742 times table is double the answer in the 371 times table: 371 × 6 = 2,226, so 742 × 6 = 4,452. To multiply 742 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 742 away: 7,420 − 742 = 6,678. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 742: 7,420 + 742 = 8,162. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 742 → 1,484 → 2,968.
Every multiple of 742 is at least 742, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 742 times table exactly when it divides by 742 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 742 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: 742 × 10 = 7,420, and 742 × 100 = 74,200. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 7,420 is 3,710.
Using the 742 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 742 × 7 = 5,194, you know 5,194 ÷ 742 = 7 and 5,194 ÷ 7 = 742. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Answer
8 × 742 = 5,936 pencils. - Tickets cost $742 each. How much do 4 tickets cost?
Answer
4 × $742 = $2,968. - 2,226 chairs are set out in rows of 742. How many rows are there?

Questions
What is 742 × 12?
8,904.
What is half of 742 × 8?
742 × 8 = 5,936, and half of that is 2,968, which is 742 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 742 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 742 contain nothing.
What is 742 × 7 and 742 × 8?
742 × 7 = 5,194 and 742 × 8 = 5,936. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 11,130 in the 742 times table?
Yes: 11,130 ÷ 742 = 15 with no remainder. 11,131 is not, because dividing it by 742 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 742 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.
