Count by 132 (Skip Counting by 132s)

Count by 132

Here we will show you how to count by 132, discuss counting by 132 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 132 matters. To start off, note that Count by 132 means counting in 132s, or count by one hundred thirty-twos, and it is also called skip counting by 132.

How to count by 132
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 132, we count 132, 264, 396, 528, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 132 or skip counting by 132, we start with 132 and then add 132 to get the next number, and then continue adding 132 to the previous number to keep counting by 132, like this:

132
132 + 132 = 264
264 + 132 = 396
396 + 132 = 528
528 + 132 = 660
...

You can of course skip count by 132 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 132 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 132, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 132, and so forth.

Count by 132 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 132s 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 132, but don't have the Counting by 132s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 132s is that the number increases by 132.

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 5 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 132 goes 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 132.

Why Count by 132?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 132 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 hundred thirty-two, you are also creating a list of multiples of 132 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 132 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 132.

When you skip count by 132, you are also creating a list of numbers that 132 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 132 is the same as making the 132 times table.
