Count by 282 (Skip Counting by 282s)

Count by 282

Here we will show you how to count by 282, discuss counting by 282 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 282 matters. To start off, note that Count by 282 means counting in 282s, or count by two hundred eighty-twos, and it is also called skip counting by 282.

How to count by 282
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 282, we count 282, 564, 846, 1128, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 282 or skip counting by 282, we start with 282 and then add 282 to get the next number, and then continue adding 282 to the previous number to keep counting by 282, like this:

282
282 + 282 = 564
564 + 282 = 846
846 + 282 = 1128
1128 + 282 = 1410
...

You can of course skip count by 282 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 282 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 282, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 282, and so forth.

Count by 282 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 282s 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 282, but don't have the Counting by 282s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 282s is that the number increases by 282.

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 282 goes 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 282.

Why Count by 282?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 282 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 eighty-two, you are also creating a list of multiples of 282 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 282 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 282.

When you skip count by 282, you are also creating a list of numbers that 282 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 282 is the same as making the 282 times table.
