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 988 is even.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 988 × k = 980 × k + 8 × k.
  • Each answer is 988 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 988.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 988 times table is double the answer in the 494 times table: 494 × 6 = 2,964, so 988 × 6 = 5,928. To multiply 988 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 988 away: 9,880 − 988 = 8,892. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 988: 9,880 + 988 = 10,868. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 988 → 1,976 → 3,952.

Every multiple of 988 is at least 988, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 988 times table exactly when it divides by 988 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 988 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: 988 × 10 = 9,880, and 988 × 100 = 98,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 9,880 is 4,940.

Using the 988 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 988 × 7 = 6,916, you know 6,916 ÷ 988 = 7 and 6,916 ÷ 7 = 988. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 988 × 12?

11,856.

What is half of 988 × 8?

988 × 8 = 7,904, and half of that is 3,952, which is 988 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 988 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 988 contain nothing.

What is 988 × 7 and 988 × 8?
