Count by 424 (Skip Counting by 424s)

Count by 424

Here we will show you how to count by 424, discuss counting by 424 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 424 matters. To start off, note that Count by 424 means counting in 424s, or count by four hundred twenty-fours, and it is also called skip counting by 424.

How to count by 424
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 424, we count 424, 848, 1272, 1696, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 424 or skip counting by 424, we start with 424 and then add 424 to get the next number, and then continue adding 424 to the previous number to keep counting by 424, like this:

424
424 + 424 = 848
848 + 424 = 1272
1272 + 424 = 1696
1696 + 424 = 2120
...

You can of course skip count by 424 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 424 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 424, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 424, and so forth.

Count by 424 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 424s 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 424, but don't have the Counting by 424s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 424s is that the number increases by 424.

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 424 goes 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 424.

Why Count by 424?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 424 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 twenty-four, you are also creating a list of multiples of 424 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 424 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 424.

When you skip count by 424, you are also creating a list of numbers that 424 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 424 is the same as making the 424 times table.
