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 998 is even.
  • Split it into tens and ones: 998 × k = 990 × k + 8 × k.
  • Each answer is 998 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 998.

Building it from tables you already know

Every answer in the 998 times table is double the answer in the 499 times table: 499 × 6 = 2,994, so 998 × 6 = 5,988. To multiply 998 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 998 away: 9,980 − 998 = 8,982. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 998: 9,980 + 998 = 10,978. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 998 → 1,996 → 3,992.

Every multiple of 998 is at least 998, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 998 times table exactly when it divides by 998 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 998 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: 998 × 10 = 9,980, and 998 × 100 = 99,800. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 9,980 is 4,990.

Using the 998 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 998 × 7 = 6,986, you know 6,986 ÷ 998 = 7 and 6,986 ÷ 7 = 998. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 998 × 12?

11,976.

What is half of 998 × 8?

998 × 8 = 7,984, and half of that is 3,992, which is 998 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 998 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 998 contain nothing.

What is 998 × 7 and 998 × 8?

998 × 7 = 6,986 and 998 × 8 = 7,984. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.
