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: 999 × k = 990 × k + 9 × k.
  • Each answer is 999 more than the one before, so you can count on in steps of 999.

Building it from tables you already know

To multiply 999 by 9, multiply by 10 and take one 999 away: 9,990 − 999 = 8,991. To multiply by 11, multiply by 10 and add one more 999: 9,990 + 999 = 10,989. Multiplying by 4 is doubling twice: 999 → 1,998 → 3,996.

Every multiple of 999 is at least 999, so there are none below 100 and 1 below 1,000. A number is in the 999 times table exactly when it divides by 999 with no remainder.

Odd, even and the last digit

Because 999 is odd, the answers alternate between odd and even: 999 × 1 = 999 is odd, 999 × 2 = 1,998 is even, and so on. Multiplying by 10 always puts a zero on the end: 999 × 10 = 9,990, and 999 × 100 = 99,900. Multiplying by 5 is half of multiplying by 10: half of 9,990 is 4,995.

Using the 999 times table to divide

Every fact also works backwards: because 999 × 7 = 6,993, you know 6,993 ÷ 999 = 7 and 6,993 ÷ 7 = 999. Practising the table and its division facts together halves the work.

Questions

What is 999 × 12?

11,988.

What is half of 999 × 8?

999 × 8 = 7,992, and half of that is 3,996, which is 999 × 4. Halving one factor halves the answer.

What is 999 times 0?

0. Any number multiplied by zero is zero, because zero groups of 999 contain nothing.

What is 999 × 7 and 999 × 8?

999 × 7 = 6,993 and 999 × 8 = 7,992. These two are the facts most people find hardest, so they are worth practising on their own.

Is 14,985 in the 999 times table?

Yes: 14,985 ÷ 999 = 15 with no remainder. 14,986 is not, because dividing it by 999 leaves a remainder of 1.

How do I learn the 999 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.
