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: 889 × k = 880 × k + 9 × k.
- Each answer is 889 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 889.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 889 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 889 away: 8,890 − 889 = 8,001. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 889: 8,890 + 889 = 9,779. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 889 → 1,778 → 3,556.
Every multiple of 889 is at least 889, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 889 times table exactly when it divides by 889 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 889 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 889 × 1 = 889 is odd, 889 × 2 = 1,778 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 889 × 10 = 8,890, and 889 × 100 = 88,900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 8,890 is 4,445.
Using the 889 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 889 × 7 = 6,223, you know 6,223 ÷ 889 = 7 and 6,223 ÷ 7 = 889. 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 889 pencils. How many pencils are in 3 boxes?
Answer
3 × 889 = 2,667 pencils. - Tickets cost $889 each. How much do 9 tickets cost?
Answer
9 × $889 = $8,001. - 1,778 chairs are set out in rows of 889. How many rows are there?
Answer
1,778 ÷ 889 = 2 rows. - A plant grows 889 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 8 weeks?
Answer
8 × 889 = 7,112 millimetres.
Questions
What is 889 × 12?
10,668.
What is half of 889 × 8?
889 × 8 = 7,112, and half of that is 3,556, which is 889 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 889 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 889 contain nothing.
What is 889 × 7 and 889 × 8?
889 × 7 = 6,223 and 889 × 8 = 7,112. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 13,335 in the 889 times table?
Yes: 13,335 ÷ 889 = 15 with no remainder. 13,336 is not, because dividing it by 889 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 889 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.
