Count by 274 (Skip Counting by 274s)

Count by 274

Here we will show you how to count by 274, discuss counting by 274 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 274 matters. To start off, note that Count by 274 means counting in 274s, or count by two hundred seventy-fours, and it is also called skip counting by 274.

How to count by 274
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 274, we count 274, 548, 822, 1096, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 274 or skip counting by 274, we start with 274 and then add 274 to get the next number, and then continue adding 274 to the previous number to keep counting by 274, like this:

274
274 + 274 = 548
548 + 274 = 822
822 + 274 = 1096
1096 + 274 = 1370
...

You can of course skip count by 274 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 274 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 274, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 274, and so forth.

Count by 274 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 274s 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 274, but don't have the Counting by 274s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 274s is that the number increases by 274.

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 274 goes 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 274.

Why Count by 274?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 274 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-four, you are also creating a list of multiples of 274 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 274 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 274.

When you skip count by 274, you are also creating a list of numbers that 274 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 274 is the same as making the 274 times table.
