Count by 306 (Skip Counting by 306s)

Count by 306

Here we will show you how to count by 306, discuss counting by 306 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 306 matters. To start off, note that Count by 306 means counting in 306s, or count by three hundred sixes, and it is also called skip counting by 306.

How to count by 306
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 306, we count 306, 612, 918, 1224, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 306 or skip counting by 306, we start with 306 and then add 306 to get the next number, and then continue adding 306 to the previous number to keep counting by 306, like this:

306
306 + 306 = 612
612 + 306 = 918
918 + 306 = 1224
1224 + 306 = 1530
...

You can of course skip count by 306 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 306 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 306, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 306, and so forth.

Count by 306 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 306s 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 306, but don't have the Counting by 306s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 306s is that the number increases by 306.

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 306 goes 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 306.

Why Count by 306?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 306 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 hundred six, you are also creating a list of multiples of 306 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 306 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 306.

When you skip count by 306, you are also creating a list of numbers that 306 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 306 is the same as making the 306 times table.
