Count by 177 (Skip Counting by 177s)

Count by 177

Here we will show you how to count by 177, discuss counting by 177 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 177 matters. To start off, note that Count by 177 means counting in 177s, or count by one hundred seventy-sevens, and it is also called skip counting by 177.

How to count by 177
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 177, we count 177, 354, 531, 708, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 177 or skip counting by 177, we start with 177 and then add 177 to get the next number, and then continue adding 177 to the previous number to keep counting by 177, like this:

177
177 + 177 = 354
354 + 177 = 531
531 + 177 = 708
708 + 177 = 885
...

You can of course skip count by 177 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 177 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 177, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 177, and so forth.

Count by 177 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 177s 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 177, but don't have the Counting by 177s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 177s is that the number increases by 177.

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 177 goes 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0 and 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 177.

Why Count by 177?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 177 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 seventy-seven, you are also creating a list of multiples of 177 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 177 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 177.

When you skip count by 177, you are also creating a list of numbers that 177 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 177 is the same as making the 177 times table.
