Count by 428 (Skip Counting by 428s)

Count by 428

Here we will show you how to count by 428, discuss counting by 428 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 428 matters. To start off, note that Count by 428 means counting in 428s, or count by four hundred twenty-eights, and it is also called skip counting by 428.

How to count by 428
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 428, we count 428, 856, 1284, 1712, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 428 or skip counting by 428, we start with 428 and then add 428 to get the next number, and then continue adding 428 to the previous number to keep counting by 428, like this:

428
428 + 428 = 856
856 + 428 = 1284
1284 + 428 = 1712
1712 + 428 = 2140
...

You can of course skip count by 428 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 428 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 428, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 428, and so forth.

Count by 428 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 428s 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 428, but don't have the Counting by 428s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 428s is that the number increases by 428.

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 428 goes 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 428.

Why Count by 428?

When you count by four hundred twenty-eight, you are also creating a list of multiples of 428 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 428 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 428.

When you skip count by 428, you are also creating a list of numbers that 428 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 428 is the same as making the 428 times table.
