Count by 229 (Skip Counting by 229s)

Count by 229

Here we will show you how to count by 229, discuss counting by 229 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 229 matters. To start off, note that Count by 229 means counting in 229s, or count by two hundred twenty-nines, and it is also called skip counting by 229.

How to count by 229
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 229, we count 229, 458, 687, 916, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 229 or skip counting by 229, we start with 229 and then add 229 to get the next number, and then continue adding 229 to the previous number to keep counting by 229, like this:

229
229 + 229 = 458
458 + 229 = 687
687 + 229 = 916
916 + 229 = 1145
...

You can of course skip count by 229 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 229 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 229, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 229, and so forth.

Count by 229 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 229s 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 229, but don't have the Counting by 229s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 229s is that the number increases by 229.

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 10 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 229 goes 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 229.

Why Count by 229?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 229 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-nine, you are also creating a list of multiples of 229 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 229 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 229.

When you skip count by 229, you are also creating a list of numbers that 229 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 229 is the same as making the 229 times table.
