Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 79 × k = 70 × k + 9 × k.
  • Each answer is 79 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 79.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 79 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 79 away: 790 − 79 = 711. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 79: 790 + 79 = 869. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 79 → 158 → 316.

There are 1 multiples of 79 below 100, and 12 below 1,000. A number is in the 79 times table exactly when it divides by 79 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 79 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 79 × 1 = 79 is odd, 79 × 2 = 158 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 79 × 10 = 790, and 79 × 100 = 7,900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 790 is 395.

Using the 79 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 79 × 7 = 553, you know 553 ÷ 79 = 7 and 553 ÷ 7 = 79. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 79 × 12?

948.

What is half of 79 × 8?

79 × 8 = 632, and half of that is 316, which is 79 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 79 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 79 contain nothing.

What is 79 × 7 and 79 × 8?

79 × 7 = 553 and 79 × 8 = 632. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 1,185 in the 79 times table?

Yes: 1,185 ÷ 79 = 15 with no remainder. 1,186 is not, because dividing it by 79 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 79 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.
