Count by 1551

Here we will show you how to count by 1551, discuss counting by 1551 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 1551 matters. To start off, note that Count by 1551 means counting in 1551s, or count by one thousand five hundred fifty-ones, and it is also called skip counting by 1551.

How to count by 1551
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 1551, we count 1551, 3102, 4653, 6204, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 1551 or skip counting by 1551, we start with 1551 and then add 1551 to get the next number, and then continue adding 1551 to the previous number to keep counting by 1551, like this:

1551
1551 + 1551 = 3102
3102 + 1551 = 4653
4653 + 1551 = 6204
6204 + 1551 = 7755
...

You can of course skip count by 1551 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 1551 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 1551, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 1551, and so forth.
