Count by 2509

Here we will show you how to count by 2509, discuss counting by 2509 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 2509 matters. To start off, note that Count by 2509 means counting in 2509s, or count by two thousand five hundred nines, and it is also called skip counting by 2509.

How to count by 2509
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 2509, we count 2509, 5018, 7527, 10036, and so on.

2509
2509 + 2509 = 5018
5018 + 2509 = 7527
7527 + 2509 = 10036
10036 + 2509 = 12545
...

You can of course skip count by 2509 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 2509 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 2509, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 2509, and so forth.
