Count by 228 (Skip Counting by 228s)

Count by 228

Here we will show you how to count by 228, discuss counting by 228 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 228 matters. To start off, note that Count by 228 means counting in 228s, or count by two hundred twenty-eights, and it is also called skip counting by 228.

How to count by 228
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 228, we count 228, 456, 684, 912, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 228 or skip counting by 228, we start with 228 and then add 228 to get the next number, and then continue adding 228 to the previous number to keep counting by 228, like this:

228
228 + 228 = 456
456 + 228 = 684
684 + 228 = 912
912 + 228 = 1140
...

You can of course skip count by 228 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 228 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 228, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 228, and so forth.

Count by 228 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 228s 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 228, but don't have the Counting by 228s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 228s is that the number increases by 228.

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 228 goes 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 228.

Why Count by 228?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 228 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-eight, you are also creating a list of multiples of 228 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 228 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 228.

When you skip count by 228, you are also creating a list of numbers that 228 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 228 is the same as making the 228 times table.
