Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0.
- Split it into tens and ones: 857 × k = 850 × k + 7 × k.
- Each answer is 857 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 857.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 857 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 857 away: 8,570 − 857 = 7,713. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 857: 8,570 + 857 = 9,427. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 857 → 1,714 → 3,428.
Every multiple of 857 is at least 857, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 857 times table exactly when it divides by 857 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 857 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 857 × 1 = 857 is odd, 857 × 2 = 1,714 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 857 × 10 = 8,570, and 857 × 100 = 85,700. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 8,570 is 4,285.
Using the 857 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 857 × 7 = 5,999, you know 5,999 ÷ 857 = 7 and 5,999 ÷ 7 = 857. 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 857 pencils. How many pencils are in 9 boxes?
Answer
9 × 857 = 7,713 pencils. - Tickets cost $857 each. How much do 9 tickets cost?
Answer
9 × $857 = $7,713. - 4,285 chairs are set out in rows of 857. How many rows are there?
Answer
4,285 ÷ 857 = 5 rows. - A plant grows 857 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 10 weeks?
Answer
10 × 857 = 8,570 millimetres.
Questions
What is 857 × 12?
10,284.
What is half of 857 × 8?
857 × 8 = 6,856, and half of that is 3,428, which is 857 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 857 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 857 contain nothing.
What is 857 × 7 and 857 × 8?
857 × 7 = 5,999 and 857 × 8 = 6,856. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 12,855 in the 857 times table?
Yes: 12,855 ÷ 857 = 15 with no remainder. 12,856 is not, because dividing it by 857 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 857 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.
