Count by 1040 (Skip Counting by 1040s)

Count by 1040

Here we will show you how to count by 1040, discuss counting by 1040 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 1040 matters. To start off, note that Count by 1040 means counting in 1040s, or count by one thousand forties, and it is also called skip counting by 1040.

How to count by 1040
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 1040, we count 1040, 2080, 3120, 4160, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 1040 or skip counting by 1040, we start with 1040 and then add 1040 to get the next number, and then continue adding 1040 to the previous number to keep counting by 1040, like this:

1040
1040 + 1040 = 2080
2080 + 1040 = 3120
3120 + 1040 = 4160
4160 + 1040 = 5200
...

You can of course skip count by 1040 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 1040 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 1040, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 1040, and so forth.

Count by 1040 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 1040s 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 1040, but don't have the Counting by 1040s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 1040s is that the number increases by 1040.

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 1 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 1040 goes 0 and 0 and so on for as long as you count by 1040.

Why Count by 1040?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 1040 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 forty, you are also creating a list of multiples of 1040 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 1040 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 1040.

When you skip count by 1040, you are also creating a list of numbers that 1040 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 1040 is the same as making the 1040 times table.
