Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 6, 2, 8, 4, 0.
  • Every answer is even, because 856 is even.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 856 × k = 850 × k + 6 × k.
  • Each answer is 856 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 856.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 856 times table is double the answer in the 428 times table: 428 × 6 = 2,568, so 856 × 6 = 5,136. To multiply 856 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 856 away: 8,560 − 856 = 7,704. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 856: 8,560 + 856 = 9,416. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 856 → 1,712 → 3,424.

Every multiple of 856 is at least 856, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 856 times table exactly when it divides by 856 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 856 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: 856 × 10 = 8,560, and 856 × 100 = 85,600. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 8,560 is 4,280.

Using the 856 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 856 × 7 = 5,992, you know 5,992 ÷ 856 = 7 and 5,992 ÷ 7 = 856. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
