Count by 271 (Skip Counting by 271s)

Count by 271

Here we will show you how to count by 271, discuss counting by 271 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 271 matters. To start off, note that Count by 271 means counting in 271s, or count by two hundred seventy-ones, and it is also called skip counting by 271.

How to count by 271
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 271, we count 271, 542, 813, 1084, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 271 or skip counting by 271, we start with 271 and then add 271 to get the next number, and then continue adding 271 to the previous number to keep counting by 271, like this:

271
271 + 271 = 542
542 + 271 = 813
813 + 271 = 1084
1084 + 271 = 1355
...

You can of course skip count by 271 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 271 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 271, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 271, and so forth.

Count by 271 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 271s 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 271, but don't have the Counting by 271s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 271s is that the number increases by 271.

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 271 goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 271.

Why Count by 271?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 271 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-one, you are also creating a list of multiples of 271 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 271 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 271.

When you skip count by 271, you are also creating a list of numbers that 271 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 271 is the same as making the 271 times table.
