Count by 234 (Skip Counting by 234s)

Count by 234

Here we will show you how to count by 234, discuss counting by 234 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 234 matters. To start off, note that Count by 234 means counting in 234s, or count by two hundred thirty-fours, and it is also called skip counting by 234.

How to count by 234
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 234, we count 234, 468, 702, 936, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 234 or skip counting by 234, we start with 234 and then add 234 to get the next number, and then continue adding 234 to the previous number to keep counting by 234, like this:

234
234 + 234 = 468
468 + 234 = 702
702 + 234 = 936
936 + 234 = 1170
...

You can of course skip count by 234 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 234 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 234, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 234, and so forth.

Count by 234 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 234s 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 234, but don't have the Counting by 234s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 234s is that the number increases by 234.

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 234 goes 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 234.

Why Count by 234?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 234 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 thirty-four, you are also creating a list of multiples of 234 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 234 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 234.

When you skip count by 234, you are also creating a list of numbers that 234 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 234 is the same as making the 234 times table.
