Count by 156 (Skip Counting by 156s)

Count by 156

Here we will show you how to count by 156, discuss counting by 156 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 156 matters. To start off, note that Count by 156 means counting in 156s, or count by one hundred fifty-sixes, and it is also called skip counting by 156.

How to count by 156
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 156, we count 156, 312, 468, 624, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 156 or skip counting by 156, we start with 156 and then add 156 to get the next number, and then continue adding 156 to the previous number to keep counting by 156, like this:

156
156 + 156 = 312
312 + 156 = 468
468 + 156 = 624
624 + 156 = 780
...

You can of course skip count by 156 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 156 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 156, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 156, and so forth.

Count by 156 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 156s 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 156, but don't have the Counting by 156s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 156s is that the number increases by 156.

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 5 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 156 goes 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 156.

Why Count by 156?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 156 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-six, you are also creating a list of multiples of 156 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 156 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 156.

When you skip count by 156, you are also creating a list of numbers that 156 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 156 is the same as making the 156 times table.
