Patterns that help you remember it
- The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 8, 6, 4, 2, 0.
- Every answer is even, because 98 is even.
- Split it into tens and ones: 98 × k = 90 × k + 8 × k.
- Each answer is 98 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 98.
Building it from tables you already know
Every answer in the 98 times table is double the answer in the 49 times table: 49 × 6 = 294, so 98 × 6 = 588. To multiply 98 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 98 away: 980 − 98 = 882. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 98: 980 + 98 = 1,078. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 98 → 196 → 392.
There are 1 multiples of 98 below 100, and 10 below 1,000. A number is in the 98 times table exactly when it divides by 98 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 98 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: 98 × 10 = 980, and 98 × 100 = 9,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 980 is 490.
Using the 98 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 98 × 7 = 686, you know 686 ÷ 98 = 7 and 686 ÷ 7 = 98. 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 98 pencils. How many pencils are in 8 boxes?
Answer
8 × 98 = 784 pencils. - Tickets cost $98 each. How much do 4 tickets cost?
Answer
4 × $98 = $392. - 588 chairs are set out in rows of 98. How many rows are there?
Answer
588 ÷ 98 = 6 rows. - A plant grows 98 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 10 weeks?
Answer
10 × 98 = 980 millimetres.
Questions
What is 98 × 12?
1,176.
What is half of 98 × 8?
98 × 8 = 784, and half of that is 392, which is 98 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 98 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 98 contain nothing.
What is 98 × 7 and 98 × 8?
98 × 7 = 686 and 98 × 8 = 784. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 1,470 in the 98 times table?
Yes: 1,470 ÷ 98 = 15 with no remainder. 1,471 is not, because dividing it by 98 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 98 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.
