Count by 481 (Skip Counting by 481s)

Count by 481

Here we will show you how to count by 481, discuss counting by 481 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 481 matters. To start off, note that Count by 481 means counting in 481s, or count by four hundred eighty-ones, and it is also called skip counting by 481.

How to count by 481
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 481, we count 481, 962, 1443, 1924, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 481 or skip counting by 481, we start with 481 and then add 481 to get the next number, and then continue adding 481 to the previous number to keep counting by 481, like this:

481
481 + 481 = 962
962 + 481 = 1443
1443 + 481 = 1924
1924 + 481 = 2405
...

You can of course skip count by 481 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 481 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 481, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 481, and so forth.

Count by 481 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 481s 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 481, but don't have the Counting by 481s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 481s is that the number increases by 481.

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 481 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 481.

Why Count by 481?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 481 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 eighty-one, you are also creating a list of multiples of 481 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 481 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 481.

When you skip count by 481, you are also creating a list of numbers that 481 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 481 is the same as making the 481 times table.
