Count by 3006 (Skip Counting by 3006s)

Count by 3006

Here we will show you how to count by 3006, discuss counting by 3006 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 3006 matters. To start off, note that Count by 3006 means counting in 3006s, or count by three thousand sixes, and it is also called skip counting by 3006.

How to count by 3006
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 3006, we count 3006, 6012, 9018, 12024, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 3006 or skip counting by 3006, we start with 3006 and then add 3006 to get the next number, and then continue adding 3006 to the previous number to keep counting by 3006, like this:

3006
3006 + 3006 = 6012
6012 + 3006 = 9018
9018 + 3006 = 12024
12024 + 3006 = 15030
...

You can of course skip count by 3006 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 3006 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 3006, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 3006, and so forth.

Count by 3006 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 3006s 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 3006, but don't have the Counting by 3006s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 3006s is that the number increases by 3006.

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 3006 goes 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 3006.

Why Count by 3006?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 3006 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by three thousand six, you are also creating a list of multiples of 3006 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 3006 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 3006.

When you skip count by 3006, you are also creating a list of numbers that 3006 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 3006 is the same as making the 3006 times table.
