Count by 403 (Skip Counting by 403s)

Count by 403

Here we will show you how to count by 403, discuss counting by 403 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 403 matters. To start off, note that Count by 403 means counting in 403s, or count by four hundred threes, and it is also called skip counting by 403.

How to count by 403
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 403, we count 403, 806, 1209, 1612, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 403 or skip counting by 403, we start with 403 and then add 403 to get the next number, and then continue adding 403 to the previous number to keep counting by 403, like this:

403
403 + 403 = 806
806 + 403 = 1209
1209 + 403 = 1612
1612 + 403 = 2015
...

You can of course skip count by 403 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 403 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 403, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 403, and so forth.

Count by 403 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 403s 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 403, but don't have the Counting by 403s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 403s is that the number increases by 403.

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 403 goes 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0 and 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 403.

Why Count by 403?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 403 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by four hundred three, you are also creating a list of multiples of 403 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 403 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 403.

When you skip count by 403, you are also creating a list of numbers that 403 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 403 is the same as making the 403 times table.
