Count by 427 (Skip Counting by 427s)

Count by 427

Here we will show you how to count by 427, discuss counting by 427 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 427 matters. To start off, note that Count by 427 means counting in 427s, or count by four hundred twenty-sevens, and it is also called skip counting by 427.

How to count by 427
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 427, we count 427, 854, 1281, 1708, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 427 or skip counting by 427, we start with 427 and then add 427 to get the next number, and then continue adding 427 to the previous number to keep counting by 427, like this:

427
427 + 427 = 854
854 + 427 = 1281
1281 + 427 = 1708
1708 + 427 = 2135
...

You can of course skip count by 427 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 427 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 427, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 427, and so forth.

Count by 427 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 427s 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 427, but don't have the Counting by 427s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 427s is that the number increases by 427.

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 427 goes 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0 and 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 427.

Why Count by 427?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 427 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-seven, you are also creating a list of multiples of 427 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 427 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 427.

When you skip count by 427, you are also creating a list of numbers that 427 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 427 is the same as making the 427 times table.
