Count by 4012 (Skip Counting by 4012s)

Count by 4012

Here we will show you how to count by 4012, discuss counting by 4012 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 4012 matters. To start off, note that Count by 4012 means counting in 4012s, or count by four thousand twelves, and it is also called skip counting by 4012.

How to count by 4012
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 4012, we count 4012, 8024, 12036, 16048, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 4012 or skip counting by 4012, we start with 4012 and then add 4012 to get the next number, and then continue adding 4012 to the previous number to keep counting by 4012, like this:

4012
4012 + 4012 = 8024
8024 + 4012 = 12036
12036 + 4012 = 16048
16048 + 4012 = 20060
...

You can of course skip count by 4012 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 4012 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 4012, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 4012, and so forth.

Count by 4012 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 4012s 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 4012, but don't have the Counting by 4012s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 4012s is that the number increases by 4012.

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 5 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 4012 goes 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 4012.

Why Count by 4012?

When you count by four thousand twelve, you are also creating a list of multiples of 4012 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 4012 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 4012.

When you skip count by 4012, you are also creating a list of numbers that 4012 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 4012 is the same as making the 4012 times table.
