Table of 872
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.
What is the Multiplication 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.

Tips and Tricks for the Multiplication Table of 872
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:
Break the numbers into smaller parts:
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.
Use of flashcards:
On one side of the flashcard, write the multiplication problems.
For example:
Front: 872 × 3
Back: 2616.
Repeated patterns:
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.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Table of 872
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.
Mistake 1
Overlooking zero place value in the products.
Always ensure proper placement of zero placeholders by clearly aligning and separating the digits in your calculation. For accuracy, double-check your result. For example: writing 872 × 10 as 8720 without aligning it clearly as 8,720.
Mistake 2
Misusing the shortcut
Always verify the shortcut method you are using. For 872 × 10, the approach is 872 × 9 + 872 = 7848 + 872 = 8720. Try to write the steps clearly and double-check your method properly.
Mistake 3
Reversing the digits.
Sometimes students reverse the digits, for example, 827 instead of 872. Double-check your work to ensure the digits are correct. Track each step carefully and review the result to avoid swapping digits. Write out full steps if needed.
Mistake 4
Misplacing the decimal points
Incorrectly placing the decimal points while calculating the larger number. To avoid decimal mistakes, ensure digits are aligned correctly, and no decimal point is added unless needed. Always double-check the result. For example, 872 × 6 = 52.32 instead of 872 × 6 = 5232.
Mistake 5
Forgetting to carry the digits over
To avoid forgetting to carry digits, slow down and double-check each step before moving on.
