Count by 1530

Here we will show you how to count by 1530, discuss counting by 1530 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 1530 matters. To start off, note that Count by 1530 means counting in 1530s, or count by one thousand five hundred thirties, and it is also called skip counting by 1530.

How to count by 1530
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 1530, we count 1530, 3060, 4590, 6120, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 1530 or skip counting by 1530, we start with 1530 and then add 1530 to get the next number, and then continue adding 1530 to the previous number to keep counting by 1530, like this:

1530
1530 + 1530 = 3060
3060 + 1530 = 4590
4590 + 1530 = 6120
6120 + 1530 = 7650
...

You can of course skip count by 1530 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 1530 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 1530, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 1530, and so forth.

Count by 1530 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 1530s 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 1530, but don't have the Counting by 1530s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 1530s is that the number increases by 1530.

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 1 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 1530 goes 0 and 0 and so on for as long as you count by 1530.
