Count by 316 (Skip Counting by 316s)

Count by 316

Here we will show you how to count by 316, discuss counting by 316 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 316 matters. To start off, note that Count by 316 means counting in 316s, or count by three hundred sixteens, and it is also called skip counting by 316.

How to count by 316
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 316, we count 316, 632, 948, 1264, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 316 or skip counting by 316, we start with 316 and then add 316 to get the next number, and then continue adding 316 to the previous number to keep counting by 316, like this:

316
316 + 316 = 632
632 + 316 = 948
948 + 316 = 1264
1264 + 316 = 1580
...

You can of course skip count by 316 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 316 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 316, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 316, and so forth.

Count by 316 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 316s 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 316, but don't have the Counting by 316s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 316s is that the number increases by 316.

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 316 goes 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 316.

Why Count by 316?

When you count by three hundred sixteen, you are also creating a list of multiples of 316 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 316 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 316.

When you skip count by 316, you are also creating a list of numbers that 316 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 316 is the same as making the 316 times table.
