Count by 515 (Skip Counting by 515s)

Count by 515

Here we will show you how to count by 515, discuss counting by 515 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 515 matters. To start off, note that Count by 515 means counting in 515s, or count by five hundred fifteens, and it is also called skip counting by 515.

How to count by 515
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 515, we count 515, 1030, 1545, 2060, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 515 or skip counting by 515, we start with 515 and then add 515 to get the next number, and then continue adding 515 to the previous number to keep counting by 515, like this:

515
515 + 515 = 1030
1030 + 515 = 1545
1545 + 515 = 2060
2060 + 515 = 2575
...

You can of course skip count by 515 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 515 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 515, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 515, and so forth.

Count by 515 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 515s 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 515, but don't have the Counting by 515s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 515s is that the number increases by 515.

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 2 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 515 goes 5, 0 and 5, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 515.
