Count by 532 (Skip Counting by 532s)

Count by 532

Here we will show you how to count by 532, discuss counting by 532 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 532 matters. To start off, note that Count by 532 means counting in 532s, or count by five hundred thirty-twos, and it is also called skip counting by 532.

How to count by 532
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 532, we count 532, 1064, 1596, 2128, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 532 or skip counting by 532, we start with 532 and then add 532 to get the next number, and then continue adding 532 to the previous number to keep counting by 532, like this:

532
532 + 532 = 1064
1064 + 532 = 1596
1596 + 532 = 2128
2128 + 532 = 2660
...

You can of course skip count by 532 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 532 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 532, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 532, and so forth.

Count by 532 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 532s 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 532, but don't have the Counting by 532s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 532s is that the number increases by 532.

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 532 goes 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 532.
