Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 10: 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0.
- Split it into tens and ones: 973 × k = 970 × k + 3 × k.
- Each answer is 973 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 973.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 973 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 973 away: 9,730 − 973 = 8,757. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 973: 9,730 + 973 = 10,703. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 973 → 1,946 → 3,892.
Every multiple of 973 is at least 973, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 973 times table exactly when it divides by 973 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 973 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 973 × 1 = 973 is odd, 973 × 2 = 1,946 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 973 × 10 = 9,730, and 973 × 100 = 97,300. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 9,730 is 4,865.
Using the 973 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 973 × 7 = 6,811, you know 6,811 ÷ 973 = 7 and 6,811 ÷ 7 = 973. 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:

Answer
9 × 973 = 8,757 pencils. - Tickets cost $973 each. How much do 4 tickets cost?
Answer
4 × $973 = $3,892. - 1,946 chairs are set out in rows of 973. How many rows are there?
Answer
1,946 ÷ 973 = 2 rows. - A plant grows 973 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 10 weeks?
Answer
10 × 973 = 9,730 millimetres.
Questions
What is 973 × 12?
11,676.
What is half of 973 × 8?
973 × 8 = 7,784, and half of that is 3,892, which is 973 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 973 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 973 contain nothing.
What is 973 × 7 and 973 × 8?
973 × 7 = 6,811 and 973 × 8 = 7,784. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 14,595 in the 973 times table?
Yes: 14,595 ÷ 973 = 15 with no remainder. 14,596 is not, because dividing it by 973 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 973 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.
