Count by 1970

Here we will show you how to count by 1970, discuss counting by 1970 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 1970 matters. To start off, note that Count by 1970 means counting in 1970s, or count by one thousand nine hundred seventies, and it is also called skip counting by 1970.

How to count by 1970
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 1970, we count 1970, 3940, 5910, 7880, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 1970 or skip counting by 1970, we start with 1970 and then add 1970 to get the next number, and then continue adding 1970 to the previous number to keep counting by 1970, like this:

1970
1970 + 1970 = 3940
3940 + 1970 = 5910
5910 + 1970 = 7880
7880 + 1970 = 9850
...

You can of course skip count by 1970 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 1970 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 1970, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 1970, and so forth.

We organized the Skip Counting by 1970s 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 1970, but don't have the Counting by 1970s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 1970s is that the number increases by 1970.

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 1970 goes 0 and 0 and so on for as long as you count by 1970.
