Count by 136 (Skip Counting by 136s)

Count by 136

Here we will show you how to count by 136, discuss counting by 136 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 136 matters. To start off, note that Count by 136 means counting in 136s, or count by one hundred thirty-sixes, and it is also called skip counting by 136.

How to count by 136
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 136, we count 136, 272, 408, 544, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 136 or skip counting by 136, we start with 136 and then add 136 to get the next number, and then continue adding 136 to the previous number to keep counting by 136, like this:

136
136 + 136 = 272
272 + 136 = 408
408 + 136 = 544
544 + 136 = 680
...

You can of course skip count by 136 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 136 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 136, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 136, and so forth.

Count by 136 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 136s 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 136, but don't have the Counting by 136s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 136s is that the number increases by 136.

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 136 goes 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 136.

Why Count by 136?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 136 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-six, you are also creating a list of multiples of 136 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 136 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 136.

When you skip count by 136, you are also creating a list of numbers that 136 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 136 is the same as making the 136 times table.
