Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0.
- The digits of every answer add up to a multiple of 9.
- Split it into tens and ones: 873 × k = 870 × k + 3 × k.
- Each answer is 873 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 873.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 873 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 873 away: 8,730 − 873 = 7,857. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 873: 8,730 + 873 = 9,603. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 873 → 1,746 → 3,492.
Every multiple of 873 is at least 873, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 873 times table exactly when it divides by 873 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 873 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 873 × 1 = 873 is odd, 873 × 2 = 1,746 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 873 × 10 = 8,730, and 873 × 100 = 87,300. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 8,730 is 4,365.
Using the 873 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 873 × 7 = 6,111, you know 6,111 ÷ 873 = 7 and 6,111 ÷ 7 = 873. 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 873 pencils. How many pencils are in 8 boxes?
Answer
8 × 873 = 6,984 pencils. - Tickets cost $873 each. How much do 4 tickets cost?
Answer
4 × $873 = $3,492. - 5,238 chairs are set out in rows of 873. How many rows are there?
Answer
5,238 ÷ 873 = 6 rows. - A plant grows 873 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 9 weeks?
Answer
9 × 873 = 7,857 millimetres.
Questions
What is 873 × 12?
10,476.
What is half of 873 × 8?
873 × 8 = 6,984, and half of that is 3,492, which is 873 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 873 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 873 contain nothing.
What is 873 × 7 and 873 × 8?
873 × 7 = 6,111 and 873 × 8 = 6,984. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 13,095 in the 873 times table?
Yes: 13,095 ÷ 873 = 15 with no remainder. 13,096 is not, because dividing it by 873 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 873 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.
