Count by 361 (Skip Counting by 361s)

Count by 361

Here we will show you how to count by 361, discuss counting by 361 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 361 matters. To start off, note that Count by 361 means counting in 361s, or count by three hundred sixty-ones, and it is also called skip counting by 361.

How to count by 361
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 361, we count 361, 722, 1083, 1444, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 361 or skip counting by 361, we start with 361 and then add 361 to get the next number, and then continue adding 361 to the previous number to keep counting by 361, like this:

361
361 + 361 = 722
722 + 361 = 1083
1083 + 361 = 1444
1444 + 361 = 1805
...

You can of course skip count by 361 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 361 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 361, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 361, and so forth.

Count by 361 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 361s 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 361, but don't have the Counting by 361s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 361s is that the number increases by 361.

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 361 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 361.

Why Count by 361?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 361 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 sixty-one, you are also creating a list of multiples of 361 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 361 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 361.

When you skip count by 361, you are also creating a list of numbers that 361 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 361 is the same as making the 361 times table.
