Count by 1021 (Skip Counting by 1021s)

Count by 1021

Here we will show you how to count by 1021, discuss counting by 1021 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 1021 matters. To start off, note that Count by 1021 means counting in 1021s, or count by one thousand twenty-ones, and it is also called skip counting by 1021.

How to count by 1021
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 1021, we count 1021, 2042, 3063, 4084, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 1021 or skip counting by 1021, we start with 1021 and then add 1021 to get the next number, and then continue adding 1021 to the previous number to keep counting by 1021, like this:

1021
1021 + 1021 = 2042
2042 + 1021 = 3063
3063 + 1021 = 4084
4084 + 1021 = 5105
...

You can of course skip count by 1021 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 1021 Chart of the first 100 numbers to get you started.

Looking at the chart above, you will see that the first column has the first ten numbers you get when you skip count by 1021, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 1021, and so forth.

Count by 1021 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 1021s Chart above in 10 rows and 10 columns so you can easily identify patterns.

Skip counting always creates patterns. Figuring out these patterns may help you if want to count by 1021, but don't have the Counting by 1021s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 1021s is that the number increases by 1021.

Furthermore, if you look at each row above, each number in the row has the same last digit (ones place). That means that every tenth number has the same last digit.

If you look down the columns, you will see that the last digit (ones place) repeats itself in blocks of 10 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 1021 goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 1021.

Why Count by 1021?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 1021 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by one thousand twenty-one, you are also creating a list of multiples of 1021 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 1021 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 1021.

When you skip count by 1021, you are also creating a list of numbers that 1021 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 1021 is the same as making the 1021 times table.
