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 78 is even.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 78 × k = 70 × k + 8 × k.
  • Each answer is 78 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 78.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 78 times table is double the answer in the 39 times table: 39 × 6 = 234, so 78 × 6 = 468. To multiply 78 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 78 away: 780 − 78 = 702. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 78: 780 + 78 = 858. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 78 → 156 → 312.

There are 1 multiples of 78 below 100, and 12 below 1,000. A number is in the 78 times table exactly when it divides by 78 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 78 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: 78 × 10 = 780, and 78 × 100 = 7,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 780 is 390.

Using the 78 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 78 × 7 = 546, you know 546 ÷ 78 = 7 and 546 ÷ 7 = 78. 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 × 78 = 546 pencils.
  2. Tickets cost $78 each. How much do 9 tickets cost?
    Answer9 × $78 = $702.
  3. 702 chairs are set out in rows of 78. How many rows are there?
    Answer702 ÷ 78 = 9 rows.
  4. A plant grows 78 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 8 weeks?

Questions

What is 78 × 12?

936.

What is half of 78 × 8?

78 × 8 = 624, and half of that is 312, which is 78 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 78 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 78 contain nothing.

What is 78 × 7 and 78 × 8?

78 × 7 = 546 and 78 × 8 = 624. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 1,170 in the 78 times table?

Yes: 1,170 ÷ 78 = 15 with no remainder. 1,171 is not, because dividing it by 78 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 78 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.
