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: 947 × k = 940 × k + 7 × k.
- Each answer is 947 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 947.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 947 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 947 away: 9,470 − 947 = 8,523. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 947: 9,470 + 947 = 10,417. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 947 → 1,894 → 3,788.
Every multiple of 947 is at least 947, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 947 times table exactly when it divides by 947 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 947 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 947 × 1 = 947 is odd, 947 × 2 = 1,894 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 947 × 10 = 9,470, and 947 × 100 = 94,700. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 9,470 is 4,735.
Using the 947 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 947 × 7 = 6,629, you know 6,629 ÷ 947 = 7 and 6,629 ÷ 7 = 947. 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 947 pencils. How many pencils are in 7 boxes?
Answer
7 × 947 = 6,629 pencils. - Tickets cost $947 each. How much do 6 tickets cost?
Answer
6 × $947 = $5,682. - 4,735 chairs are set out in rows of 947. How many rows are there?
Answer
4,735 ÷ 947 = 5 rows. - A plant grows 947 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 8 weeks?
Answer
8 × 947 = 7,576 millimetres.
Questions
What is 947 × 12?
11,364.
What is half of 947 × 8?
947 × 8 = 7,576, and half of that is 3,788, which is 947 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 947 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 947 contain nothing.
What is 947 × 7 and 947 × 8?
947 × 7 = 6,629 and 947 × 8 = 7,576. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 14,205 in the 947 times table?
Yes: 14,205 ÷ 947 = 15 with no remainder. 14,206 is not, because dividing it by 947 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 947 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.
