Count by 2016 (Skip Counting by 2016s)

Count by 2016

Here we will show you how to count by 2016, discuss counting by 2016 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 2016 matters. To start off, note that Count by 2016 means counting in 2016s, or count by two thousand sixteens, and it is also called skip counting by 2016.

How to count by 2016
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 2016, we count 2016, 4032, 6048, 8064, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 2016 or skip counting by 2016, we start with 2016 and then add 2016 to get the next number, and then continue adding 2016 to the previous number to keep counting by 2016, like this:

2016
2016 + 2016 = 4032
4032 + 2016 = 6048
6048 + 2016 = 8064
8064 + 2016 = 10080
...

You can of course skip count by 2016 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 2016 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 2016, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 2016, and so forth.

Count by 2016 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 2016s 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 2016, but don't have the Counting by 2016s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 2016s is that the number increases by 2016.

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 2016 goes 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 2016.

Why Count by 2016?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 2016 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 sixteen, you are also creating a list of multiples of 2016 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 2016 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 2016.

When you skip count by 2016, you are also creating a list of numbers that 2016 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 2016 is the same as making the 2016 times table.
