Count by 145 (Skip Counting by 145s)

Count by 145

Here we will show you how to count by 145, discuss counting by 145 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 145 matters. To start off, note that Count by 145 means counting in 145s, or count by one hundred forty-fives, and it is also called skip counting by 145.

How to count by 145
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 145, we count 145, 290, 435, 580, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 145 or skip counting by 145, we start with 145 and then add 145 to get the next number, and then continue adding 145 to the previous number to keep counting by 145, like this:

145
145 + 145 = 290
290 + 145 = 435
435 + 145 = 580
580 + 145 = 725
...

You can of course skip count by 145 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 145 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 145, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 145, and so forth.

Count by 145 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 145s 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 145, but don't have the Counting by 145s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 145s is that the number increases by 145.

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 2 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 145 goes 5, 0 and 5, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 145.

Why Count by 145?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 145 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 forty-five, you are also creating a list of multiples of 145 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 145 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 145.

When you skip count by 145, you are also creating a list of numbers that 145 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 145 is the same as making the 145 times table.
