Count by 1880 (Skip Counting by 1880s)

Count by 1880

Here we will show you how to count by 1880, discuss counting by 1880 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 1880 matters. To start off, note that Count by 1880 means counting in 1880s, or count by one thousand eight hundred eighties, and it is also called skip counting by 1880.

How to count by 1880
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 1880, we count 1880, 3760, 5640, 7520, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 1880 or skip counting by 1880, we start with 1880 and then add 1880 to get the next number, and then continue adding 1880 to the previous number to keep counting by 1880, like this:

1880
1880 + 1880 = 3760
3760 + 1880 = 5640
5640 + 1880 = 7520
7520 + 1880 = 9400
...

You can of course skip count by 1880 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 1880 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 1880, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 1880, and so forth.

Count by 1880 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 1880s 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 1880, but don't have the Counting by 1880s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 1880s is that the number increases by 1880.

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 1880 goes 0 and 0 and so on for as long as you count by 1880.

Why Count by 1880?

When you count by one thousand eight hundred eighty, you are also creating a list of multiples of 1880 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 1880 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 1880.
