Count by 510 (Skip Counting by 510s)

Count by 510

Here we will show you how to count by 510, discuss counting by 510 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 510 matters. To start off, note that Count by 510 means counting in 510s, or count by five hundred tens, and it is also called skip counting by 510.

How to count by 510
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 510, we count 510, 1020, 1530, 2040, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 510 or skip counting by 510, we start with 510 and then add 510 to get the next number, and then continue adding 510 to the previous number to keep counting by 510, like this:

510
510 + 510 = 1020
1020 + 510 = 1530
1530 + 510 = 2040
2040 + 510 = 2550
...

You can of course skip count by 510 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 510 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 510, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 510, and so forth.

Count by 510 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 510s 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 510, but don't have the Counting by 510s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 510s is that the number increases by 510.

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 1 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 510 goes 0 and 0 and so on for as long as you count by 510.

Why Count by 510?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 510 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 ten, you are also creating a list of multiples of 510 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 510 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 510.

When you skip count by 510, you are also creating a list of numbers that 510 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 510 is the same as making the 510 times table.
