Count by 269 (Skip Counting by 269s)

Count by 269

Here we will show you how to count by 269, discuss counting by 269 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 269 matters. To start off, note that Count by 269 means counting in 269s, or count by two hundred sixty-nines, and it is also called skip counting by 269.

How to count by 269
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 269, we count 269, 538, 807, 1076, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 269 or skip counting by 269, we start with 269 and then add 269 to get the next number, and then continue adding 269 to the previous number to keep counting by 269, like this:

269
269 + 269 = 538
538 + 269 = 807
807 + 269 = 1076
1076 + 269 = 1345
...

You can of course skip count by 269 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 269 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 269, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 269, and so forth.

Count by 269 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 269s 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 269, but don't have the Counting by 269s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 269s is that the number increases by 269.

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 10 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 269 goes 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 269.

When you count by two hundred sixty-nine, you are also creating a list of multiples of 269 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 269 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 269.
