Count by 518 (Skip Counting by 518s)

Count by 518

Here we will show you how to count by 518, discuss counting by 518 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 518 matters. To start off, note that Count by 518 means counting in 518s, or count by five hundred eighteens, and it is also called skip counting by 518.

How to count by 518
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 518, we count 518, 1036, 1554, 2072, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 518 or skip counting by 518, we start with 518 and then add 518 to get the next number, and then continue adding 518 to the previous number to keep counting by 518, like this:

518
518 + 518 = 1036
1036 + 518 = 1554
1554 + 518 = 2072
2072 + 518 = 2590
...

You can of course skip count by 518 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 518 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 518, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 518, and so forth.

Count by 518 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 518s 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 518, but don't have the Counting by 518s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 518s is that the number increases by 518.

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 518 goes 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 518.
