Count by 3700 (Skip Counting by 3700s)

Count by 3700

Here we will show you how to count by 3700, discuss counting by 3700 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 3700 matters. To start off, note that Count by 3700 means counting in 3700s, or count by three thousand seven hundreds, and it is also called skip counting by 3700.

How to count by 3700
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 3700, we count 3700, 7400, 11100, 14800, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 3700 or skip counting by 3700, we start with 3700 and then add 3700 to get the next number, and then continue adding 3700 to the previous number to keep counting by 3700, like this:

3700
3700 + 3700 = 7400
7400 + 3700 = 11100
11100 + 3700 = 14800
14800 + 3700 = 18500
...

You can of course skip count by 3700 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 3700 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 3700, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 3700, and so forth.

Count by 3700 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 3700s 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 3700, but don't have the Counting by 3700s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 3700s is that the number increases by 3700.

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 1 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 3700 goes 0 and 0 and so on for as long as you count by 3700.

Why Count by 3700?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 3700 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 seven hundred, you are also creating a list of multiples of 3700 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 3700 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 3700.

When you skip count by 3700, you are also creating a list of numbers that 3700 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 3700 is the same as making the 3700 times table.
