Count by 438 (Skip Counting by 438s)

Count by 438

Here we will show you how to count by 438, discuss counting by 438 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 438 matters. To start off, note that Count by 438 means counting in 438s, or count by four hundred thirty-eights, and it is also called skip counting by 438.

How to count by 438
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 438, we count 438, 876, 1314, 1752, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 438 or skip counting by 438, we start with 438 and then add 438 to get the next number, and then continue adding 438 to the previous number to keep counting by 438, like this:

438
438 + 438 = 876
876 + 438 = 1314
1314 + 438 = 1752
1752 + 438 = 2190
...

You can of course skip count by 438 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 438 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 438, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 438, and so forth.

Count by 438 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 438s 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 438, but don't have the Counting by 438s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 438s is that the number increases by 438.

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 438 goes 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 438.
