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: 887 × k = 880 × k + 7 × k.
- Each answer is 887 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 887.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 887 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 887 away: 8,870 − 887 = 7,983. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 887: 8,870 + 887 = 9,757. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 887 → 1,774 → 3,548.
Every multiple of 887 is at least 887, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 887 times table exactly when it divides by 887 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 887 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 887 × 1 = 887 is odd, 887 × 2 = 1,774 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 887 × 10 = 8,870, and 887 × 100 = 88,700. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 8,870 is 4,435.
Using the 887 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 887 × 7 = 6,209, you know 6,209 ÷ 887 = 7 and 6,209 ÷ 7 = 887. 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 887 pencils. How many pencils are in 4 boxes?
Answer
4 × 887 = 3,548 pencils. - Tickets cost $887 each. How much do 10 tickets cost?
Answer
10 × $887 = $8,870. - 6,209 chairs are set out in rows of 887. How many rows are there?
Answer
6,209 ÷ 887 = 7 rows. - A plant grows 887 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 11 weeks?
Answer
11 × 887 = 9,757 millimetres.
Questions
What is 887 × 12?
10,644.
What is half of 887 × 8?
887 × 8 = 7,096, and half of that is 3,548, which is 887 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 887 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 887 contain nothing.
What is 887 × 7 and 887 × 8?
887 × 7 = 6,209 and 887 × 8 = 7,096. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 13,305 in the 887 times table?
Yes: 13,305 ÷ 887 = 15 with no remainder. 13,306 is not, because dividing it by 887 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 887 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.
