Count by 273 (Skip Counting by 273s)

Count by 273

Here we will show you how to count by 273, discuss counting by 273 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 273 matters. To start off, note that Count by 273 means counting in 273s, or count by two hundred seventy-threes, and it is also called skip counting by 273.

How to count by 273
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 273, we count 273, 546, 819, 1092, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 273 or skip counting by 273, we start with 273 and then add 273 to get the next number, and then continue adding 273 to the previous number to keep counting by 273, like this:

273
273 + 273 = 546
546 + 273 = 819
819 + 273 = 1092
1092 + 273 = 1365
...

You can of course skip count by 273 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 273 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 273, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 273, and so forth.

Count by 273 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 273s 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 273, but don't have the Counting by 273s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 273s is that the number increases by 273.

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 273 goes 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0 and 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 273.

Why Count by 273?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 273 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-three, you are also creating a list of multiples of 273 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 273 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 273.

When you skip count by 273, you are also creating a list of numbers that 273 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 273 is the same as making the 273 times table.
