Multiplication Table Of 79
The table of 79 is the list of products you get when you multiply 79 by each whole number in turn. Because 79 is a prime number one less than 80, the quickest way to hold it is not to store the products but to lean on the 80s you already know and subtract.

What Is The Table Of 79 In Words?
Reading the table aloud builds the rhythm before the numbers stick.
One times 79 is 79
Two times 79 is 158
Three times 79 is 237
Four times 79 is 316
Five times 79 is 395
Six times 79 is 474
Seven times 79 is 553
Eight times 79 is 632
Nine times 79 is 711
Ten times 79 is 790
What Is The 79 Times Table?
The 79 times table is repeated addition of 79. Each row adds one more group of seventy-nine, so the table answers "how much is 79, added to itself, again and again?"
Built from the ground up, the ladder looks like this:
$79$
$79 + 79 = 158$
$79 + 79 + 79 = 237$
$79 + 79 + 79 + 79 = 316$
Multiplication is the shortcut for this stacking, which is why $79 \times 4$ and "four 79s added together" both give 316.
What Are The Multiples Of 79?
The multiples of 79 are the numbers you reach by skip-counting in 79s. The first twenty are:
79, 158, 237, 316, 395, 474, 553, 632, 711, 790, 869, 948, 1027, 1106, 1185, 1264, 1343, 1422, 1501, 1580.
Every entry in the table of 79 is a multiple of 79. Because 79 is a prime number, its only factors are 1 and 79, so unlike 80 or 84 it sits in no smaller whole-number table. That is exactly why the eighty-minus-one route matters: there is no factor shortcut to fall back on.
How To Learn The 79 Times Table (Patterns, Not Memorizing)
Bhanzu teaches the few patterns that generate a table rather than drilling its rows into recall. The table of 79 has no factors to reuse, so instead of storing ten large products you rebuild each one from a table you already know. That habit of reaching for structure is the number sense algebra later rewards.
Every pattern below comes from one fact: $79 = 80 - 1$.
Pattern 1: The 79s are the 80s minus the multiplier. Because $79 = 80 - 1$, each row of 79 is the matching row of 80 with one extra group taken away: $79 \times k = 80 \times k - k$. For $79 \times 6$: $80 \times 6 = 480$, then $480 - 6 = 474$.
Pattern 2: Build the 80s from the 8 times table. Every multiple of 80 is a multiple of the 8 times table with a zero appended. So $80 \times 7 = 560$ comes from $8 \times 7 = 56$, and $79 \times 7 = 560 - 7 = 553$.
Pattern 3: The ones digit counts down. Reading the products in order, the ones digit falls 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, because each step subtracts the multiplier from a number ending in zero. If your ones digit breaks that run, the row is wrong.
Pattern 4: Prime means no shortcut, so reason it out. Since 79 is a prime number, you cannot split it into a known factor table the way you can with 84. The eighty-minus-one method is the reliable rebuild, and reaching for it beats trying to memorize ten big products cold.
How Do You Read And Use The Table Of 79?
Read each row left to right: $79 \times 6 = 474$ is "79 multiplied six times gives four hundred seventy-four." The first number is the group size, the second is the count of groups, and the product is the total.
To work a row quickly, round 79 up to 80, multiply, then subtract the multiplier once. For $79 \times 9$: $80 \times 9 = 720$, then $720 - 9 = 711$. The rounding is your safety net, so if a row slips, rebuild it from the 80s rather than adding 79s one at a time.
Where Does The Table Of 79 Appear?
Seventy-nine turns up more often than a prime this size might suggest. It is the atomic number of gold, so any chemistry chart counting gold's protons is reading a fact from this family, and a price set at 79 per unit (a common charm-pricing point just under 80) totals across quantities on this table. It shows up in page counts, in a 79-minute runtime split across sessions, and anywhere a near-80 rate is billed, so a shopkeeper totalling items marked 79 is really working the 79 table.
Solved Examples Of The Table Of 79
Example 1
What is $79 \times 6$?
Round up and subtract: $80 \times 6 = 480$, then take away 6.
$480 - 6 = 474$
Final answer: $79 \times 6 = 474$.
Example 2
A tour bus seats 79 passengers. How many seats across 4 buses?
Wrong attempt. The rusher rounds 79 to 80, works $80 \times 4 = 320$, and forgets to subtract.
Why it breaks. Rounding 79 up to 80 adds one extra seat to every bus, so 320 counts four seats that are not there.
Correct. Subtract the four extra: $320 - 4 = 316$.
$79 \times 4 = 316$
Final answer: 316 seats.
Example 3
Find $79 \times 12$.
Round and subtract: $80 \times 12 = 960$, then take away 12.
$960 - 12 = 948$
Final answer: $79 \times 12 = 948$.
Example 4
$79 \times {?} = 632$.
Divide to find the missing factor: $632 \div 79 = 8$.
Final answer: $79 \times 8 = 632$.
Example 5
A crate holds 79 apples. How many apples in 5 crates?
$79 \times 5 = (80 \times 5) - 5 = 400 - 5 = 395$.
Final answer: 395 apples.
What Are Common Mistakes With The Table Of 79?
Mistake 1: Rounding to 80 and forgetting to subtract
Where it slips in: Using the eighty-minus-one method but stopping at the 80s value.
Don't do this: Writing $79 \times 6 = 480$ (that is $80 \times 6$, not $79 \times 6$).
The correct way: After $80 \times 6 = 480$, subtract the multiplier: $480 - 6 = 474$.
Mistake 2: Subtracting 1 instead of the multiplier
Where it slips in: Remembering "minus one" but taking away a single 1 rather than one group per row.
Don't do this: Writing $79 \times 6 = 480 - 1 = 479$.
The correct way: Each of the 6 groups is short by 1, so subtract 6, not 1: $480 - 6 = 474$.

Conclusion
The table of 79 is really the table of 80 with a small correction: multiply by 80, subtract the multiplier, and check that the ones digit counts down toward zero. Learn it as that one move and a prime table stops being intimidating.
