Count by 2504 (Skip Counting by 2504s)

Count by 2504

Here we will show you how to count by 2504, discuss counting by 2504 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 2504 matters. To start off, note that Count by 2504 means counting in 2504s, or count by two thousand five hundred fours, and it is also called skip counting by 2504.

How to count by 2504
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 2504, we count 2504, 5008, 7512, 10016, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 2504 or skip counting by 2504, we start with 2504 and then add 2504 to get the next number, and then continue adding 2504 to the previous number to keep counting by 2504, like this:

2504
2504 + 2504 = 5008
5008 + 2504 = 7512
7512 + 2504 = 10016
10016 + 2504 = 12520
...

You can of course skip count by 2504 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 2504 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 2504, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 2504, and so forth.

Count by 2504 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 2504s 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 2504, but don't have the Counting by 2504s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 2504s is that the number increases by 2504.

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 2504 goes 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 2504.
