Count by 473 (Skip Counting by 473s)

Count by 473

Here we will show you how to count by 473, discuss counting by 473 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 473 matters. To start off, note that Count by 473 means counting in 473s, or count by four hundred seventy-threes, and it is also called skip counting by 473.

How to count by 473
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 473, we count 473, 946, 1419, 1892, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 473 or skip counting by 473, we start with 473 and then add 473 to get the next number, and then continue adding 473 to the previous number to keep counting by 473, like this:

473
473 + 473 = 946
946 + 473 = 1419
1419 + 473 = 1892
1892 + 473 = 2365
...

You can of course skip count by 473 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 473 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 473, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 473, and so forth.

Count by 473 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 473s 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 473, but don't have the Counting by 473s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 473s is that the number increases by 473.

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 473 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 473.

When you count by four hundred seventy-three, you are also creating a list of multiples of 473 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 473 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 473.
