Count by 357 (Skip Counting by 357s)

Count by 357

Here we will show you how to count by 357, discuss counting by 357 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 357 matters. To start off, note that Count by 357 means counting in 357s, or count by three hundred fifty-sevens, and it is also called skip counting by 357.

How to count by 357
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 357, we count 357, 714, 1071, 1428, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 357 or skip counting by 357, we start with 357 and then add 357 to get the next number, and then continue adding 357 to the previous number to keep counting by 357, like this:

357
357 + 357 = 714
714 + 357 = 1071
1071 + 357 = 1428
1428 + 357 = 1785
...

You can of course skip count by 357 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 357 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 357, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 357, and so forth.

Count by 357 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 357s 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 357, but don't have the Counting by 357s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 357s is that the number increases by 357.

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 357 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 357.

Why Count by 357?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 357 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 fifty-seven, you are also creating a list of multiples of 357 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 357 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 357.

When you skip count by 357, you are also creating a list of numbers that 357 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 357 is the same as making the 357 times table.
