Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 1: 0.
  • Every answer is even, because 970 is even.
  • Every answer ends in 0 or 5.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 970 × k = 970 × k + 0 × k.
  • Each answer is 970 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 970.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 970 times table is double the answer in the 485 times table: 485 × 6 = 2,910, so 970 × 6 = 5,820. To multiply 970 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 970 away: 9,700 − 970 = 8,730. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 970: 9,700 + 970 = 10,670. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 970 → 1,940 → 3,880.

Every multiple of 970 is at least 970, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 970 times table exactly when it divides by 970 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 970 is even, every answer in its table is even, which is a quick way to catch a wrong answer. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 970 × 10 = 9,700, and 970 × 100 = 97,000. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 9,700 is 4,850.

Using the 970 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 970 × 7 = 6,790, you know 6,790 ÷ 970 = 7 and 6,790 ÷ 7 = 970. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 970 × 12?

11,640.

What is half of 970 × 8?

970 × 8 = 7,760, and half of that is 3,880, which is 970 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 970 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 970 contain nothing.

What is 970 × 7 and 970 × 8?

970 × 7 = 6,790 and 970 × 8 = 7,760. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 14,550 in the 970 times table?

Yes: 14,550 ÷ 970 = 15 with no remainder. 14,551 is not, because dividing it by 970 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 970 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.
