Count by 222 (Skip Counting by 222s)

Count by 222

Here we will show you how to count by 222, discuss counting by 222 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 222 matters. To start off, note that Count by 222 means counting in 222s, or count by two hundred twenty-twos, and it is also called skip counting by 222.

How to count by 222
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 222, we count 222, 444, 666, 888, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 222 or skip counting by 222, we start with 222 and then add 222 to get the next number, and then continue adding 222 to the previous number to keep counting by 222, like this:

222
222 + 222 = 444
444 + 222 = 666
666 + 222 = 888
888 + 222 = 1110
...

You can of course skip count by 222 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 222 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 222, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 222, and so forth.

Count by 222 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 222s 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 222, but don't have the Counting by 222s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 222s is that the number increases by 222.

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 222 goes 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 222.

Why Count by 222?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 222 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 hundred twenty-two, you are also creating a list of multiples of 222 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 222 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 222.

When you skip count by 222, you are also creating a list of numbers that 222 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 222 is the same as making the 222 times table.
