Count by 153 (Skip Counting by 153s)

Count by 153

Here we will show you how to count by 153, discuss counting by 153 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 153 matters. To start off, note that Count by 153 means counting in 153s, or count by one hundred fifty-threes, and it is also called skip counting by 153.

How to count by 153
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 153, we count 153, 306, 459, 612, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 153 or skip counting by 153, we start with 153 and then add 153 to get the next number, and then continue adding 153 to the previous number to keep counting by 153, like this:

153
153 + 153 = 306
306 + 153 = 459
459 + 153 = 612
612 + 153 = 765
...

You can of course skip count by 153 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 153 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 153, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 153, and so forth.

Count by 153 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 153s 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 153, but don't have the Counting by 153s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 153s is that the number increases by 153.

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 153 goes 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0 and 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 153.

Why Count by 153?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 153 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 fifty-three, you are also creating a list of multiples of 153 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 153 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 153.

When you skip count by 153, you are also creating a list of numbers that 153 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 153 is the same as making the 153 times table.
