Count by 308 (Skip Counting by 308s)

Count by 308

Here we will show you how to count by 308, discuss counting by 308 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 308 matters. To start off, note that Count by 308 means counting in 308s, or count by three hundred eights, and it is also called skip counting by 308.

How to count by 308
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 308, we count 308, 616, 924, 1232, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 308 or skip counting by 308, we start with 308 and then add 308 to get the next number, and then continue adding 308 to the previous number to keep counting by 308, like this:

308
308 + 308 = 616
616 + 308 = 924
924 + 308 = 1232
1232 + 308 = 1540
...

You can of course skip count by 308 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 308 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 308, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 308, and so forth.

Count by 308 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 308s 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 308, but don't have the Counting by 308s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 308s is that the number increases by 308.

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 308 goes 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 308.

Why Count by 308?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 308 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 eight, you are also creating a list of multiples of 308 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 308 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 308.

When you skip count by 308, you are also creating a list of numbers that 308 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 308 is the same as making the 308 times table.
