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: 859 × k = 850 × k + 9 × k.
- Each answer is 859 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 859.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 859 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 859 away: 8,590 − 859 = 7,731. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 859: 8,590 + 859 = 9,449. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 859 → 1,718 → 3,436.
Every multiple of 859 is at least 859, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 859 times table exactly when it divides by 859 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 859 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 859 × 1 = 859 is odd, 859 × 2 = 1,718 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 859 × 10 = 8,590, and 859 × 100 = 85,900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 8,590 is 4,295.
Using the 859 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 859 × 7 = 6,013, you know 6,013 ÷ 859 = 7 and 6,013 ÷ 7 = 859. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Answer
9 × 859 = 7,731 pencils. - Tickets cost $859 each. How much do 12 tickets cost?
Answer
12 × $859 = $10,308. - 7,731 chairs are set out in rows of 859. How many rows are there?
Answer
7,731 ÷ 859 = 9 rows. - A plant grows 859 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 7 weeks?

Questions
What is 859 × 12?
10,308.
What is half of 859 × 8?
859 × 8 = 6,872, and half of that is 3,436, which is 859 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 859 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 859 contain nothing.
What is 859 × 7 and 859 × 8?
859 × 7 = 6,013 and 859 × 8 = 6,872. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 12,885 in the 859 times table?
Yes: 12,885 ÷ 859 = 15 with no remainder. 12,886 is not, because dividing it by 859 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 859 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.
