Count by 265 (Skip Counting by 265s)

Count by 265

Here we will show you how to count by 265, discuss counting by 265 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 265 matters. To start off, note that Count by 265 means counting in 265s, or count by two hundred sixty-fives, and it is also called skip counting by 265.

How to count by 265
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 265, we count 265, 530, 795, 1060, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 265 or skip counting by 265, we start with 265 and then add 265 to get the next number, and then continue adding 265 to the previous number to keep counting by 265, like this:

265
265 + 265 = 530
530 + 265 = 795
795 + 265 = 1060
1060 + 265 = 1325
...

You can of course skip count by 265 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 265 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 265, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 265, and so forth.

Count by 265 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 265s 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 265, but don't have the Counting by 265s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 265s is that the number increases by 265.

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 2 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 265 goes 5, 0 and 5, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 265.

Why Count by 265?

When you count by two hundred sixty-five, you are also creating a list of multiples of 265 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 265 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 265.
