Count by 43 (Skip Counting by 43s)

Count by 43

Here we will show you how to count by 43, discuss counting by 43 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 43 matters. To start off, note that Count by 43 means counting in 43s, or count by forty-threes, and it is also called skip counting by 43.

How to count by 43
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 43, we count 43, 86, 129, 172, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 43 or skip counting by 43, we start with 43 and then add 43 to get the next number, and then continue adding 43 to the previous number to keep counting by 43, like this:

43
43 + 43 = 86
86 + 43 = 129
129 + 43 = 172
172 + 43 = 215
...

You can of course skip count by 43 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 43 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 43, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 43, and so forth.

Count by 43 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 43s 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 43, but don't have the Counting by 43s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 43s is that the number increases by 43.

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 43 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 43.

Why Count by 43?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 43 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-three, you are also creating a list of multiples of 43 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 43 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 43.

When you skip count by 43, you are also creating a list of numbers that 43 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 43 is the same as making the 43 times table.
