A times table is a chart that shows the results of multiplying a number with whole numbers. Learning the times table will help kids understand multiplication. We use an algebraic system to define multiplication operations, construction, estimation, schoolwork, exams, etc. In this topic, we will learn about the table of 872.
Multiplication was used by people over 4000 years ago. Babylonians were considered the first to use it in clay tablets. Multiplication tables are created as a result of people's search for easier ways to solve problems. Learning multiplication tables has numerous advantages. Kids can answer quickly if they know their times table. It also helps to enhance their understanding skills. Being more familiar with the tables improves children's memory and confidence.
Multiplying the whole number (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on) by 872 gives the product of the multiplication table of 872.
Here are some examples:
872 × 1 = 872
872 × 2 = 872 + 872 = 1744
872 × 3 = 872 + 872 + 872 = 2616
872 × 4 = 872 + 872 + 872 + 872 = 3488
872 × 5 = 872 + 872 + 872 + 872 + 872 = 4360
872, 1744, 2616, 3488, 4360, and so on are multiples of 872.
The 872 times table chart shows the multiples of 872. Every result in the chart is obtained by multiplying 872 with other whole numbers, like 1 to 10, and so on.
For example:
872 × 10 = 8720
872 × 11 = 9592
872 × 12 = 10464, and so on.

Understanding the multiplication table of 872 can be challenging because of the larger number involved. But with tips and tricks, it becomes easier. Let’s look into some:
Breaking the numbers into smaller parts will make it easy to learn multiplication.
For example: 872 × 4
Here, 872 can break into 800 + 72
(800 × 4) + (72 × 4) = 3200 + 288
= 3488.
On one side of the flashcard, write the multiplication problems.
For example:
Front: 872 × 3
Back: 2616.
The unit digits in the 872 times table repeat every 5 multiples.
For example: The unit digits repeat in the cycle: 2, 4, 6, 8, 0. After every 5 multiples, the cycle restarts.
While working on the tables of 872, it's common for kids to make some errors. Here are some common mistakes that kids make and tips on how to avoid them.
A warehouse receives a shipment of painting canvases, each measuring 872 square centimeters. If they receive 872 canvases in total, how many square centimeters of canvas do they have?
760,384 square centimeters.
To find the total area of all canvases, multiply the area of one canvas by the number of canvases:
872 × 872 = 760,384 square centimeters.
An art gallery charges an entrance fee of 872 units per person. If 7 people visit the gallery, how much total revenue does the gallery generate from entrance fees?
6,104 units.
Multiply the entrance fee per person by the number of visitors to find the total revenue:
872 × 7 = 6,104 units.
A library has shelves that can hold 872 magazines each. If the library fills 4 shelves, how many magazines does it store in total?
3,488 magazines.
Multiply the number of magazines per shelf by the number of shelves to find the total number of magazines:
872 × 4 = 3,488 magazines.
A factory produces 872 widgets each day. How many widgets are produced in 15 days?
13,080 widgets.
Multiply the daily production by the number of days to find the total production:
872 × 15 = 13,080 widgets.
A company's team consists of 872 employees. If each employee works 9 hours per day, how many hours of work does the entire team complete in a day?
7,848 hours.
Multiply the number of employees by the number of hours each works to find the total hours worked by the team:
872 × 9 = 7,848 hours.
