Count by 359 (Skip Counting by 359s)

Count by 359

Here we will show you how to count by 359, discuss counting by 359 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 359 matters. To start off, note that Count by 359 means counting in 359s, or count by three hundred fifty-nines, and it is also called skip counting by 359.

How to count by 359
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 359, we count 359, 718, 1077, 1436, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 359 or skip counting by 359, we start with 359 and then add 359 to get the next number, and then continue adding 359 to the previous number to keep counting by 359, like this:

359
359 + 359 = 718
718 + 359 = 1077
1077 + 359 = 1436
1436 + 359 = 1795
...

You can of course skip count by 359 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 359 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 359, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 359, and so forth.

Count by 359 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 359s 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 359, but don't have the Counting by 359s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 359s is that the number increases by 359.

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 359 goes 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 359.

Why Count by 359?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 359 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-nine, you are also creating a list of multiples of 359 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 359 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 359.

When you skip count by 359, you are also creating a list of numbers that 359 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 359 is the same as making the 359 times table.
