Count by 198 (Skip Counting by 198s)

Count by 198

Here we will show you how to count by 198, discuss counting by 198 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 198 matters. To start off, note that Count by 198 means counting in 198s, or count by one hundred ninety-eights, and it is also called skip counting by 198.

How to count by 198
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 198, we count 198, 396, 594, 792, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 198 or skip counting by 198, we start with 198 and then add 198 to get the next number, and then continue adding 198 to the previous number to keep counting by 198, like this:

198
198 + 198 = 396
396 + 198 = 594
594 + 198 = 792
792 + 198 = 990
...

You can of course skip count by 198 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 198 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 198, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 198, and so forth.

Count by 198 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 198s 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 198, but don't have the Counting by 198s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 198s is that the number increases by 198.

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 198 goes 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 198.
