Count by 244 (Skip Counting by 244s)

Count by 244

Here we will show you how to count by 244, discuss counting by 244 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 244 matters. To start off, note that Count by 244 means counting in 244s, or count by two hundred forty-fours, and it is also called skip counting by 244.

How to count by 244
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 244, we count 244, 488, 732, 976, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 244 or skip counting by 244, we start with 244 and then add 244 to get the next number, and then continue adding 244 to the previous number to keep counting by 244, like this:

244
244 + 244 = 488
488 + 244 = 732
732 + 244 = 976
976 + 244 = 1220
...

You can of course skip count by 244 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 244 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 244, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 244, and so forth.

Count by 244 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 244s 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 244, but don't have the Counting by 244s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 244s is that the number increases by 244.

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 244 goes 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 244.

Why Count by 244?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 244 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 forty-four, you are also creating a list of multiples of 244 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 244 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 244.

When you skip count by 244, you are also creating a list of numbers that 244 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 244 is the same as making the 244 times table.
