Count by 283 (Skip Counting by 283s)

Count by 283

Here we will show you how to count by 283, discuss counting by 283 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 283 matters. To start off, note that Count by 283 means counting in 283s, or count by two hundred eighty-threes, and it is also called skip counting by 283.

How to count by 283
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 283, we count 283, 566, 849, 1132, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 283 or skip counting by 283, we start with 283 and then add 283 to get the next number, and then continue adding 283 to the previous number to keep counting by 283, like this:

283
283 + 283 = 566
566 + 283 = 849
849 + 283 = 1132
1132 + 283 = 1415
...

You can of course skip count by 283 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 283 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 283, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 283, and so forth.

Count by 283 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 283s 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 283, but don't have the Counting by 283s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 283s is that the number increases by 283.

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 283 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 283.

Why Count by 283?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 283 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-three, you are also creating a list of multiples of 283 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 283 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 283.

When you skip count by 283, you are also creating a list of numbers that 283 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 283 is the same as making the 283 times table.
