Count by 511 (Skip Counting by 511s)

Count by 511

Here we will show you how to count by 511, discuss counting by 511 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 511 matters. To start off, note that Count by 511 means counting in 511s, or count by five hundred elevens, and it is also called skip counting by 511.

How to count by 511
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 511, we count 511, 1022, 1533, 2044, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 511 or skip counting by 511, we start with 511 and then add 511 to get the next number, and then continue adding 511 to the previous number to keep counting by 511, like this:

511
511 + 511 = 1022
1022 + 511 = 1533
1533 + 511 = 2044
2044 + 511 = 2555
...

You can of course skip count by 511 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 511 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 511, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 511, and so forth.

Count by 511 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 511s 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 511, but don't have the Counting by 511s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 511s is that the number increases by 511.

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 511 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 511.

Why Count by 511?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 511 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 eleven, you are also creating a list of multiples of 511 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 511 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 511.

When you skip count by 511, you are also creating a list of numbers that 511 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 511 is the same as making the 511 times table.
