Count by 19 (Skip Counting by 19s)

Count by 19

Here we will show you how to count by 19, discuss counting by 19 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 19 matters. To start off, note that Count by 19 means counting in 19s, or count by nineteens, and it is also called skip counting by 19.

How to count by 19
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 19, we count 19, 38, 57, 76, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 19 or skip counting by 19, we start with 19 and then add 19 to get the next number, and then continue adding 19 to the previous number to keep counting by 19, like this:

19
19 + 19 = 38
38 + 19 = 57
57 + 19 = 76
76 + 19 = 95
...

You can of course skip count by 19 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 19 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 19, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 19, and so forth.

Count by 19 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 19s 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 19, but don't have the Counting by 19s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 19s is that the number increases by 19.

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 19 goes 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 19.

Why Count by 19?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 19 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by nineteen, you are also creating a list of multiples of 19 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 19 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 19.

When you skip count by 19, you are also creating a list of numbers that 19 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 19 is the same as making the 19 times table.
