Count by 431 (Skip Counting by 431s)

Count by 431

Here we will show you how to count by 431, discuss counting by 431 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 431 matters. To start off, note that Count by 431 means counting in 431s, or count by four hundred thirty-ones, and it is also called skip counting by 431.

How to count by 431
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 431, we count 431, 862, 1293, 1724, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 431 or skip counting by 431, we start with 431 and then add 431 to get the next number, and then continue adding 431 to the previous number to keep counting by 431, like this:

431
431 + 431 = 862
862 + 431 = 1293
1293 + 431 = 1724
1724 + 431 = 2155
...

You can of course skip count by 431 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 431 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 431, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 431, and so forth.

Count by 431 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 431s 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 431, but don't have the Counting by 431s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 431s is that the number increases by 431.

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 431 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 431.

Why Count by 431?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 431 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 thirty-one, you are also creating a list of multiples of 431 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 431 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 431.

When you skip count by 431, you are also creating a list of numbers that 431 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 431 is the same as making the 431 times table.
