Count by 492 (Skip Counting by 492s)

Count by 492

Here we will show you how to count by 492, discuss counting by 492 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 492 matters. To start off, note that Count by 492 means counting in 492s, or count by four hundred ninety-twos, and it is also called skip counting by 492.

How to count by 492
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 492, we count 492, 984, 1476, 1968, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 492 or skip counting by 492, we start with 492 and then add 492 to get the next number, and then continue adding 492 to the previous number to keep counting by 492, like this:

492
492 + 492 = 984
984 + 492 = 1476
1476 + 492 = 1968
1968 + 492 = 2460
...

You can of course skip count by 492 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 492 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 492, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 492, and so forth.

Count by 492 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 492s 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 492, but don't have the Counting by 492s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 492s is that the number increases by 492.

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 492 goes 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 492.
