Table of 401
A times table is a chart that shows the results of multiplying a number with whole numbers. Learning the times table helps 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 464.
What is the multiplication table of 401?
Multiplication was used by people over 4,000 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 401 gives the product of the multiplication table of 401. Here are some examples:
401 × 1 = 401
401 × 2 = 401 + 401 = 802
401 × 3 = 401 + 401 + 401 = 1203
401 × 4 = 401 + 401 + 401 + 401 = 1604
401 × 5 = 401 + 401 + 401 + 401 + 401 = 2005
401, 802, 1203, 1604, 2005, and so on are multiples of 401.
Tips and Tricks for the Multiplication Table of 401
Understanding the multiplication table of 401 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, 401 × 4
Here, 401 can break into 400 + 1
(400 × 4) + (1 × 4) = 1600 + 4
= 1604.
Use of flashcards: On one side of the flashcard, write the multiplication problems.
For example:
Front: 401 × 3
Back: 1203.
Repeated patterns: The unit digits in the 401 times table repeat every 5 multiples.
For example: The unit digits repeat in the cycle: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. After every 5 multiples, the cycle restarts.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Table of 401
While working on the tables of 401, it's common for kids to make some errors. Here are some common mistakes that kids make and the 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.
Mistake 2
Misusing the shortcut
Always verify the shortcut method you are using. For 401 × 10, the approach is 401 × 9 + 401 = 3609 + 401 = 4010. Try to write the steps clearly and double-check your method properly.
Mistake 3
Reversing the digits.
Sometimes students reverse the digits, for example, 410 instead of 401. 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.
Mistake 5
Forgetting to carry the digits over
To avoid forgetting to carry digits, slow down and double-check each step before moving on.
Table of 401 Examples
Problem 1
A new publishing house prints 401 copies of a book and wants to distribute them into boxes, with 401 books in each box. How many boxes will they need?
1 box.
Explanation
Since the publishing house packs 401 books in each box and has a total of 401 books, they can pack exactly 1 box. For example: 401 × 1 = 401.
Problem 2
An online course provider charges 401 units for each course. If 7 students enroll and each pays for one course, how much revenue will the provider earn?
2807 units.
Explanation
To calculate the total revenue, multiply the cost per course (401) by the number of students enrolled (7):
401 × 7 = 2807 units.
Problem 3
A museum has 401 display cases, and each case holds 12 artifacts. How many artifacts are displayed in total?
4812 artifacts.
Explanation
Multiply the number of display cases (401) by the number of artifacts per case (12) to get the total number of artifacts:
401 × 12 = 4812 artifacts.
Problem 4
An irrigation company lays down 401 meters of piping each day. How much piping will be laid in 15 days?
6015 meters.
Explanation
Multiply the daily piping amount (401 meters) by the number of days (15) to find the total length of piping:
401 × 15 = 6015 meters.
Problem 5
A tech company employs 401 developers, each working 7 hours a day. How many total hours of work are completed by all developers in one day?
2807 hours.
Explanation
The total work hours are calculated by multiplying the number of developers (401) by the daily working hours (7):
401 × 7 = 2807 hours
