Count by 268 (Skip Counting by 268s)

Count by 268

Here we will show you how to count by 268, discuss counting by 268 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 268 matters. To start off, note that Count by 268 means counting in 268s, or count by two hundred sixty-eights, and it is also called skip counting by 268.

How to count by 268
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 268, we count 268, 536, 804, 1072, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 268 or skip counting by 268, we start with 268 and then add 268 to get the next number, and then continue adding 268 to the previous number to keep counting by 268, like this:

268
268 + 268 = 536
536 + 268 = 804
804 + 268 = 1072
1072 + 268 = 1340
...

You can of course skip count by 268 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 268 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 268, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 268, and so forth.

Count by 268 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 268s 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 268, but don't have the Counting by 268s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 268s is that the number increases by 268.

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 268 goes 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 268.
