Count by 277 (Skip Counting by 277s)

Count by 277

Here we will show you how to count by 277, discuss counting by 277 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 277 matters. To start off, note that Count by 277 means counting in 277s, or count by two hundred seventy-sevens, and it is also called skip counting by 277.

How to count by 277
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 277, we count 277, 554, 831, 1108, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 277 or skip counting by 277, we start with 277 and then add 277 to get the next number, and then continue adding 277 to the previous number to keep counting by 277, like this:

277
277 + 277 = 554
554 + 277 = 831
831 + 277 = 1108
1108 + 277 = 1385
...

You can of course skip count by 277 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 277 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 277, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 277, and so forth.

Count by 277 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 277s 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 277, but don't have the Counting by 277s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 277s is that the number increases by 277.

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 277 goes 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0 and 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 277.

Why Count by 277?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 277 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-seven, you are also creating a list of multiples of 277 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 277 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 277.

When you skip count by 277, you are also creating a list of numbers that 277 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 277 is the same as making the 277 times table.
