Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0.
- Split it into tens and ones: 821 × k = 820 × k + 1 × k.
- Each answer is 821 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 821.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 821 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 821 away: 8,210 − 821 = 7,389. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 821: 8,210 + 821 = 9,031. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 821 → 1,642 → 3,284.
Every multiple of 821 is at least 821, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 821 times table exactly when it divides by 821 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 821 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 821 × 1 = 821 is odd, 821 × 2 = 1,642 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 821 × 10 = 8,210, and 821 × 100 = 82,100. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 8,210 is 4,105.
Using the 821 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 821 × 7 = 5,747, you know 5,747 ÷ 821 = 7 and 5,747 ÷ 7 = 821. 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:
- A box holds 821 pencils. How many pencils are in 7 boxes?
Answer
7 × 821 = 5,747 pencils. - Tickets cost $821 each. How much do 7 tickets cost?
Answer
7 × $821 = $5,747. - 4,105 chairs are set out in rows of 821. How many rows are there?
Answer
4,105 ÷ 821 = 5 rows. - A plant grows 821 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 10 weeks?
Answer
10 × 821 = 8,210 millimetres.
Questions
What is 821 × 12?
9,852.
What is half of 821 × 8?
821 × 8 = 6,568, and half of that is 3,284, which is 821 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 821 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 821 contain nothing.
What is 821 × 7 and 821 × 8?
821 × 7 = 5,747 and 821 × 8 = 6,568. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 12,315 in the 821 times table?
Yes: 12,315 ÷ 821 = 15 with no remainder. 12,316 is not, because dividing it by 821 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 821 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.
