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.
- The digits of every answer add up to a multiple of 9.
- Split it into tens and ones: 99 × k = 90 × k + 9 × k.
- Each answer is 99 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 99.
Building it from tables you already know
To multiply 99 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 99 away: 990 − 99 = 891. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 99: 990 + 99 = 1,089. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 99 → 198 → 396.
There are 1 multiples of 99 below 100, and 10 below 1,000. A number is in the 99 times table exactly when it divides by 99 with no remainder.
Odd, even and the last digit
Because 99 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 99 × 1 = 99 is odd, 99 × 2 = 198 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 99 × 10 = 990, and 99 × 100 = 9,900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 990 is 495.
Using the 99 times table to divide
Every fact also works backwards: because 99 × 7 = 693, you know 693 ÷ 99 = 7 and 693 ÷ 7 = 99. 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 99 pencils. How many pencils are in 8 boxes?
Answer
8 × 99 = 792 pencils. - Tickets cost $99 each. How much do 5 tickets cost?
Answer
5 × $99 = $495. - 693 chairs are set out in rows of 99. How many rows are there?
Answer
693 ÷ 99 = 7 rows. - A plant grows 99 millimetres a week. How much does it grow in 12 weeks?
Answer
12 × 99 = 1,188 millimetres.
Questions
What is 99 × 12?
1,188.
What is half of 99 × 8?
99 × 8 = 792, and half of that is 396, which is 99 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.
What is 99 times 0?
0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 99 contain nothing.
What is 99 × 7 and 99 × 8?
99 × 7 = 693 and 99 × 8 = 792. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
Is 1,485 in the 99 times table?
Yes: 1,485 ÷ 99 = 15 with no remainder. 1,486 is not, because dividing it by 99 leaves a remainder of 1.
How do I learn the 99 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.
