Count by 41 (Skip Counting by 41s)

Count by 41

Here we will show you how to count by 41, discuss counting by 41 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 41 matters. To start off, note that Count by 41 means counting in 41s, or count by forty-ones, and it is also called skip counting by 41.

How to count by 41
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 41, we count 41, 82, 123, 164, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 41 or skip counting by 41, we start with 41 and then add 41 to get the next number, and then continue adding 41 to the previous number to keep counting by 41, like this:

41
41 + 41 = 82
82 + 41 = 123
123 + 41 = 164
164 + 41 = 205
...

You can of course skip count by 41 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 41 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 41, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 41, and so forth.

Count by 41 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 41s 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 41, but don't have the Counting by 41s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 41s is that the number increases by 41.

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 41 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 41.

Why Count by 41?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 41 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by forty-one, you are also creating a list of multiples of 41 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 41 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 41.

When you skip count by 41, you are also creating a list of numbers that 41 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 41 is the same as making the 41 times table.
