Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 4, 8, 2, 6, 0.
- Every answer is even, because 974 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 974 × k = 970 × k + 4 × k.
- Each answer is 974 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 974.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 974 times table is double the answer in the 487 times table: 487 × 6 = 2,922, so 974 × 6 = 5,844. To multiply 974 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 974 away: 9,740 − 974 = 8,766. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 974: 9,740 + 974 = 10,714. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 974 → 1,948 → 3,896.
Every multiple of 974 is at least 974, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 974 times table exactly when it divides by 974 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 974 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: 974 × 10 = 9,740, and 974 × 100 = 97,400. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 9,740 is 4,870.
Using the 974 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 974 × 7 = 6,818, you know 6,818 ÷ 974 = 7 and 6,818 ÷ 7 = 974. 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 974 pencils. How many pencils are in 9 boxes?
Answer
9 × 974 = 8,766 pencils. - Tickets cost $974 each. How much do 6 tickets cost?
Answer
6 × $974 = $5,844. - 4,870 chairs are set out in rows of 974. How many rows are there?
Answer
4,870 ÷ 974 = 5 rows. - A plant grows 974 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 7 weeks?
Answer
7 × 974 = 6,818 millimetres.
Questions
What is 974 × 12?
11,688.
What is half of 974 × 8?
974 × 8 = 7,792, and half of that is 3,896, which is 974 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 974 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 974 contain nothing.
What is 974 × 7 and 974 × 8?
974 × 7 = 6,818 and 974 × 8 = 7,792. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 14,610 in the 974 times table?
Yes: 14,610 ÷ 974 = 15 with no remainder. 14,611 is not, because dividing it by 974 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 974 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.
