Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 2, 4, 6, 8, 0.
  • Every answer is even, because 872 is even.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 872 × k = 870 × k + 2 × k.
  • Each answer is 872 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 872.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 872 times table is double the answer in the 436 times table: 436 × 6 = 2,616, so 872 × 6 = 5,232. To multiply 872 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 872 away: 8,720 − 872 = 7,848. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 872: 8,720 + 872 = 9,592. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 872 → 1,744 → 3,488.

Every multiple of 872 is at least 872, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 872 times table exactly when it divides by 872 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 872 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: 872 × 10 = 8,720, and 872 × 100 = 87,200. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 8,720 is 4,360.

Using the 872 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 872 × 7 = 6,104, you know 6,104 ÷ 872 = 7 and 6,104 ÷ 7 = 872. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
