Count by 149 (Skip Counting by 149s)

Count by 149

Here we will show you how to count by 149, discuss counting by 149 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 149 matters. To start off, note that Count by 149 means counting in 149s, or count by one hundred forty-nines, and it is also called skip counting by 149.

How to count by 149
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 149, we count 149, 298, 447, 596, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 149 or skip counting by 149, we start with 149 and then add 149 to get the next number, and then continue adding 149 to the previous number to keep counting by 149, like this:

149
149 + 149 = 298
298 + 149 = 447
447 + 149 = 596
596 + 149 = 745
...

You can of course skip count by 149 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 149 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 149, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 149, and so forth.

Count by 149 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 149s 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 149, but don't have the Counting by 149s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 149s is that the number increases by 149.

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 149 goes 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 149.

Why Count by 149?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 149 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-nine, you are also creating a list of multiples of 149 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 149 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 149.

When you skip count by 149, you are also creating a list of numbers that 149 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 149 is the same as making the 149 times table.
