Patterns that help you remember it

  • The last digits repeat in a cycle of 1: 0.
  • Every answer is even, because 980 is even.
  • Every answer ends in 0 or 5.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 980 × k = 980 × k + 0 × k.
  • Each answer is 980 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 980.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 980 times table is double the answer in the 490 times table: 490 × 6 = 2,940, so 980 × 6 = 5,880. To multiply 980 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 980 away: 9,800 − 980 = 8,820. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 980: 9,800 + 980 = 10,780. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 980 → 1,960 → 3,920.

Every multiple of 980 is at least 980, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 980 times table exactly when it divides by 980 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 980 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: 980 × 10 = 9,800, and 980 × 100 = 98,000. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 9,800 is 4,900.

Using the 980 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 980 × 7 = 6,860, you know 6,860 ÷ 980 = 7 and 6,860 ÷ 7 = 980. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 980 × 12?

11,760.

What is half of 980 × 8?

980 × 8 = 7,840, and half of that is 3,920, which is 980 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 980 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 980 contain nothing.

What is 980 × 7 and 980 × 8?

980 × 7 = 6,860 and 980 × 8 = 7,840. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 14,700 in the 980 times table?

Yes: 14,700 ÷ 980 = 15 with no remainder. 14,701 is not, because dividing it by 980 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 980 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.
