Count by 2015 (Skip Counting by 2015s)

Count by 2015

Here we will show you how to count by 2015, discuss counting by 2015 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 2015 matters. To start off, note that Count by 2015 means counting in 2015s, or count by two thousand fifteens, and it is also called skip counting by 2015.

How to count by 2015
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 2015, we count 2015, 4030, 6045, 8060, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 2015 or skip counting by 2015, we start with 2015 and then add 2015 to get the next number, and then continue adding 2015 to the previous number to keep counting by 2015, like this:

2015
2015 + 2015 = 4030
4030 + 2015 = 6045
6045 + 2015 = 8060
8060 + 2015 = 10075
...

You can of course skip count by 2015 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 2015 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 2015, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 2015, and so forth.

Count by 2015 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 2015s 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 2015, but don't have the Counting by 2015s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 2015s is that the number increases by 2015.

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 2 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 2015 goes 5, 0 and 5, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 2015.

Why Count by 2015?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 2015 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by two thousand fifteen, you are also creating a list of multiples of 2015 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 2015 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 2015.

When you skip count by 2015, you are also creating a list of numbers that 2015 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 2015 is the same as making the 2015 times table.
