Count by 317 (Skip Counting by 317s)

Count by 317

Here we will show you how to count by 317, discuss counting by 317 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 317 matters. To start off, note that Count by 317 means counting in 317s, or count by three hundred seventeens, and it is also called skip counting by 317.

How to count by 317
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 317, we count 317, 634, 951, 1268, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 317 or skip counting by 317, we start with 317 and then add 317 to get the next number, and then continue adding 317 to the previous number to keep counting by 317, like this:

317
317 + 317 = 634
634 + 317 = 951
951 + 317 = 1268
1268 + 317 = 1585
...

You can of course skip count by 317 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 317 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 317, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 317, and so forth.

Count by 317 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 317s 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 317, but don't have the Counting by 317s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 317s is that the number increases by 317.

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 317 goes 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0 and 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 317.

Why Count by 317?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 317 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 seventeen, you are also creating a list of multiples of 317 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 317 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 317.

When you skip count by 317, you are also creating a list of numbers that 317 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 317 is the same as making the 317 times table.
