Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is the fastest way to learn the 17 times table?

Use “20n − 3n”: 17 × n = (20 × n) − (3 × n). You can also do 17 × n = (10 × n) + (5 × n) + (2 × n). Practise these with small n first.

How can I check if a number is a multiple of 17?

Divide by 17 and see if there is no remainder. For mental checks, compare with nearby 170s or 340s, or use (20n − 3n) to see if it fits an integer n.

Where is the 17 times table used in real life?

You’ll meet 17 in prime-based patterns, modular arithmetic, code puzzles, and scaled measures such as steps of 17 units in grids, seating, or stock counts.
