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 838 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 838 × k = 830 × k + 8 × k.
- Each answer is 838 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 838.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 838 times table is double the answer in the 419 times table: 419 × 6 = 2,514, so 838 × 6 = 5,028. To multiply 838 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 838 away: 8,380 − 838 = 7,542. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 838: 8,380 + 838 = 9,218. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 838 → 1,676 → 3,352.
Every multiple of 838 is at least 838, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 838 times table exactly when it divides by 838 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 838 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: 838 × 10 = 8,380, and 838 × 100 = 83,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 8,380 is 4,190.
Using the 838 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 838 × 7 = 5,866, you know 5,866 ÷ 838 = 7 and 5,866 ÷ 7 = 838. 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 838 pencils. How many pencils are in 6 boxes?
Answer
6 × 838 = 5,028 pencils. - Tickets cost $838 each. How much do 5 tickets cost?
Answer
5 × $838 = $4,190. - 7,542 chairs are set out in rows of 838. How many rows are there?
Answer
7,542 ÷ 838 = 9 rows. - A plant grows 838 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 8 weeks?

8 × 838 = 6,704 millimetres.
Questions
What is 838 × 12?
10,056.
What is half of 838 × 8?
838 × 8 = 6,704, and half of that is 3,352, which is 838 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 838 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 838 contain nothing.
What is 838 × 7 and 838 × 8?
838 × 7 = 5,866 and 838 × 8 = 6,704. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 12,570 in the 838 times table?
Yes: 12,570 ÷ 838 = 15 with no remainder. 12,571 is not, because dividing it by 838 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 838 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.
