Count by 2048 (Skip Counting by 2048s)

Count by 2048

Here we will show you how to count by 2048, discuss counting by 2048 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 2048 matters. To start off, note that Count by 2048 means counting in 2048s, or count by two thousand forty-eights, and it is also called skip counting by 2048.

How to count by 2048
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 2048, we count 2048, 4096, 6144, 8192, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 2048 or skip counting by 2048, we start with 2048 and then add 2048 to get the next number, and then continue adding 2048 to the previous number to keep counting by 2048, like this:

2048
2048 + 2048 = 4096
4096 + 2048 = 6144
6144 + 2048 = 8192
8192 + 2048 = 10240
...

You can of course skip count by 2048 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 2048 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 2048, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 2048, and so forth.

Count by 2048 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 2048s 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 2048, but don't have the Counting by 2048s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 2048s is that the number increases by 2048.

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 2048 goes 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 2048.
