Count by 504 (Skip Counting by 504s)

Count by 504

Here we will show you how to count by 504, discuss counting by 504 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 504 matters. To start off, note that Count by 504 means counting in 504s, or count by five hundred fours, and it is also called skip counting by 504.

How to count by 504
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 504, we count 504, 1008, 1512, 2016, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 504 or skip counting by 504, we start with 504 and then add 504 to get the next number, and then continue adding 504 to the previous number to keep counting by 504, like this:

504
504 + 504 = 1008
1008 + 504 = 1512
1512 + 504 = 2016
2016 + 504 = 2520
...

You can of course skip count by 504 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 504 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 504, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 504, and so forth.

Count by 504 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 504s 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 504, but don't have the Counting by 504s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 504s is that the number increases by 504.

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 504 goes 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 504.

Why Count by 504?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 504 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by five hundred four, you are also creating a list of multiples of 504 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 504 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 504.

When you skip count by 504, you are also creating a list of numbers that 504 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 504 is the same as making the 504 times table.
