Count by 1207 (Skip Counting by 1207s)

Count by 1207

Here we will show you how to count by 1207, discuss counting by 1207 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 1207 matters. To start off, note that Count by 1207 means counting in 1207s, or count by one thousand two hundred sevens, and it is also called skip counting by 1207.

How to count by 1207
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 1207, we count 1207, 2414, 3621, 4828, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 1207 or skip counting by 1207, we start with 1207 and then add 1207 to get the next number, and then continue adding 1207 to the previous number to keep counting by 1207, like this:

1207
1207 + 1207 = 2414
2414 + 1207 = 3621
3621 + 1207 = 4828
4828 + 1207 = 6035
...

You can of course skip count by 1207 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 1207 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 1207, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 1207, and so forth.

Count by 1207 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 1207s 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 1207, but don't have the Counting by 1207s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 1207s is that the number increases by 1207.

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 1207 goes 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0 and 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 1207.

Why Count by 1207?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 1207 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 two hundred seven, you are also creating a list of multiples of 1207 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 1207 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 1207.

When you skip count by 1207, you are also creating a list of numbers that 1207 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 1207 is the same as making the 1207 times table.
