Count by 299 (Skip Counting by 299s)

Count by 299

Here we will show you how to count by 299, discuss counting by 299 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 299 matters. To start off, note that Count by 299 means counting in 299s, or count by two hundred ninety-nines, and it is also called skip counting by 299.

How to count by 299
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 299, we count 299, 598, 897, 1196, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 299 or skip counting by 299, we start with 299 and then add 299 to get the next number, and then continue adding 299 to the previous number to keep counting by 299, like this:

299
299 + 299 = 598
598 + 299 = 897
897 + 299 = 1196
1196 + 299 = 1495
...

You can of course skip count by 299 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 299 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 299, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 299, and so forth.

Count by 299 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 299s 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 299, but don't have the Counting by 299s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 299s is that the number increases by 299.

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 299 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 299.
