Count by 3201 (Skip Counting by 3201s)

Count by 3201

Here we will show you how to count by 3201, discuss counting by 3201 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 3201 matters. To start off, note that Count by 3201 means counting in 3201s, or count by three thousand two hundred ones, and it is also called skip counting by 3201.

How to count by 3201
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 3201, we count 3201, 6402, 9603, 12804, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 3201 or skip counting by 3201, we start with 3201 and then add 3201 to get the next number, and then continue adding 3201 to the previous number to keep counting by 3201, like this:

3201
3201 + 3201 = 6402
6402 + 3201 = 9603
9603 + 3201 = 12804
12804 + 3201 = 16005
...

You can of course skip count by 3201 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 3201 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 3201, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 3201, and so forth.

Count by 3201 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 3201s 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 3201, but don't have the Counting by 3201s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 3201s is that the number increases by 3201.

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 3201 goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 3201.

Why Count by 3201?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 3201 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 two hundred one, you are also creating a list of multiples of 3201 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 3201 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 3201.

When you skip count by 3201, you are also creating a list of numbers that 3201 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 3201 is the same as making the 3201 times table.
