Count by 1048

Here we will show you how to count by 1048, discuss counting by 1048 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 1048 matters. To start off, note that Count by 1048 means counting in 1048s, or count by one thousand forty-eights, and it is also called skip counting by 1048.

How to count by 1048
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 1048, we count 1048, 2096, 3144, 4192, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 1048 or skip counting by 1048, we start with 1048 and then add 1048 to get the next number, and then continue adding 1048 to the previous number to keep counting by 1048, like this:

1048
1048 + 1048 = 2096
2096 + 1048 = 3144
3144 + 1048 = 4192
4192 + 1048 = 5240
...

You can of course skip count by 1048 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 1048 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 1048, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 1048, and so forth.
