Count by 188 (Skip Counting by 188s)

Count by 188

Here we will show you how to count by 188, discuss counting by 188 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 188 matters. To start off, note that Count by 188 means counting in 188s, or count by one hundred eighty-eights, and it is also called skip counting by 188.

How to count by 188
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 188, we count 188, 376, 564, 752, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 188 or skip counting by 188, we start with 188 and then add 188 to get the next number, and then continue adding 188 to the previous number to keep counting by 188, like this:

188
188 + 188 = 376
376 + 188 = 564
564 + 188 = 752
752 + 188 = 940
...

You can of course skip count by 188 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 188 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 188, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 188, and so forth.

Count by 188 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 188s 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 188, but don't have the Counting by 188s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 188s is that the number increases by 188.

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 188 goes 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 188.

Why Count by 188?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 188 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 eighty-eight, you are also creating a list of multiples of 188 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 188 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 188.

When you skip count by 188, you are also creating a list of numbers that 188 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 188 is the same as making the 188 times table.
