Count by 523 (Skip Counting by 523s)

Count by 523

Here we will show you how to count by 523, discuss counting by 523 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 523 matters. To start off, note that Count by 523 means counting in 523s, or count by five hundred twenty-threes, and it is also called skip counting by 523.

How to count by 523
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 523, we count 523, 1046, 1569, 2092, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 523 or skip counting by 523, we start with 523 and then add 523 to get the next number, and then continue adding 523 to the previous number to keep counting by 523, like this:

523
523 + 523 = 1046
1046 + 523 = 1569
1569 + 523 = 2092
2092 + 523 = 2615
...

You can of course skip count by 523 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 523 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 523, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 523, and so forth.

Count by 523 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 523s 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 523, but don't have the Counting by 523s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 523s is that the number increases by 523.

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 523 goes 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0 and 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 523.

Why Count by 523?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 523 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 twenty-three, you are also creating a list of multiples of 523 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 523 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 523.

When you skip count by 523, you are also creating a list of numbers that 523 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 523 is the same as making the 523 times table.
