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: 979 × k = 970 × k + 9 × k.
  • Each answer is 979 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 979.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 979 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 979 away: 9,790 − 979 = 8,811. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 979: 9,790 + 979 = 10,769. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 979 → 1,958 → 3,916.

Every multiple of 979 is at least 979, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 979 times table exactly when it divides by 979 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 979 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 979 × 1 = 979 is odd, 979 × 2 = 1,958 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 979 × 10 = 9,790, and 979 × 100 = 97,900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 9,790 is 4,895.

Using the 979 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 979 × 7 = 6,853, you know 6,853 ÷ 979 = 7 and 6,853 ÷ 7 = 979. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.
