Count by 514 (Skip Counting by 514s)

Count by 514

Here we will show you how to count by 514, discuss counting by 514 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 514 matters. To start off, note that Count by 514 means counting in 514s, or count by five hundred fourteens, and it is also called skip counting by 514.

How to count by 514
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 514, we count 514, 1028, 1542, 2056, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 514 or skip counting by 514, we start with 514 and then add 514 to get the next number, and then continue adding 514 to the previous number to keep counting by 514, like this:

514
514 + 514 = 1028
1028 + 514 = 1542
1542 + 514 = 2056
2056 + 514 = 2570
...

You can of course skip count by 514 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 514 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 514, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 514, and so forth.

Count by 514 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 514s 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 514, but don't have the Counting by 514s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 514s is that the number increases by 514.

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 514 goes 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 514.

Why Count by 514?

When you count by five hundred fourteen, you are also creating a list of multiples of 514 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 514 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 514.

When you skip count by 514, you are also creating a list of numbers that 514 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 514 is the same as making the 514 times table.
