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: 879 × k = 870 × k + 9 × k.
  • Each answer is 879 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 879.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 879 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 879 away: 8,790 − 879 = 7,911. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 879: 8,790 + 879 = 9,669. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 879 → 1,758 → 3,516.

Every multiple of 879 is at least 879, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 879 times table exactly when it divides by 879 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 879 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 879 × 1 = 879 is odd, 879 × 2 = 1,758 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 879 × 10 = 8,790, and 879 × 100 = 87,900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 8,790 is 4,395.

Using the 879 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 879 × 7 = 6,153, you know 6,153 ÷ 879 = 7 and 6,153 ÷ 7 = 879. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
