Count by 516 (Skip Counting by 516s)

Count by 516

Here we will show you how to count by 516, discuss counting by 516 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 516 matters. To start off, note that Count by 516 means counting in 516s, or count by five hundred sixteens, and it is also called skip counting by 516.

How to count by 516
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 516, we count 516, 1032, 1548, 2064, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 516 or skip counting by 516, we start with 516 and then add 516 to get the next number, and then continue adding 516 to the previous number to keep counting by 516, like this:

516
516 + 516 = 1032
1032 + 516 = 1548
1548 + 516 = 2064
2064 + 516 = 2580
...

You can of course skip count by 516 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 516 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 516, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 516, and so forth.

Count by 516 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 516s 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 516, but don't have the Counting by 516s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 516s is that the number increases by 516.

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 516 goes 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 516.
