Count by 289 (Skip Counting by 289s)

Count by 289

Here we will show you how to count by 289, discuss counting by 289 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 289 matters. To start off, note that Count by 289 means counting in 289s, or count by two hundred eighty-nines, and it is also called skip counting by 289.

How to count by 289
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 289, we count 289, 578, 867, 1156, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 289 or skip counting by 289, we start with 289 and then add 289 to get the next number, and then continue adding 289 to the previous number to keep counting by 289, like this:

289
289 + 289 = 578
578 + 289 = 867
867 + 289 = 1156
1156 + 289 = 1445
...

You can of course skip count by 289 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 289 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 289, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 289, and so forth.

Count by 289 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 289s 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 289, but don't have the Counting by 289s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 289s is that the number increases by 289.

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 289 goes 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 289.

Why Count by 289?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 289 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-nine, you are also creating a list of multiples of 289 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 289 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 289.

When you skip count by 289, you are also creating a list of numbers that 289 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 289 is the same as making the 289 times table.
