Count by 270 (Skip Counting by 270s)

Count by 270

Here we will show you how to count by 270, discuss counting by 270 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 270 matters. To start off, note that Count by 270 means counting in 270s, or count by two hundred seventies, and it is also called skip counting by 270.

How to count by 270
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 270, we count 270, 540, 810, 1080, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 270 or skip counting by 270, we start with 270 and then add 270 to get the next number, and then continue adding 270 to the previous number to keep counting by 270, like this:

270
270 + 270 = 540
540 + 270 = 810
810 + 270 = 1080
1080 + 270 = 1350
...

You can of course skip count by 270 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 270 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 270, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 270, and so forth.

Count by 270 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 270s 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 270, but don't have the Counting by 270s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 270s is that the number increases by 270.

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 1 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 270 goes 0 and 0 and so on for as long as you count by 270.

Why Count by 270?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 270 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by two hundred seventy, you are also creating a list of multiples of 270 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 270 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 270.

When you skip count by 270, you are also creating a list of numbers that 270 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 270 is the same as making the 270 times table.
