Count by 547 (Skip Counting by 547s)

Count by 547

Here we will show you how to count by 547, discuss counting by 547 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 547 matters. To start off, note that Count by 547 means counting in 547s, or count by five hundred forty-sevens, and it is also called skip counting by 547.

How to count by 547
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 547, we count 547, 1094, 1641, 2188, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 547 or skip counting by 547, we start with 547 and then add 547 to get the next number, and then continue adding 547 to the previous number to keep counting by 547, like this:

547
547 + 547 = 1094
1094 + 547 = 1641
1641 + 547 = 2188
2188 + 547 = 2735
...

You can of course skip count by 547 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 547 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 547, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 547, and so forth.

Count by 547 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 547s 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 547, but don't have the Counting by 547s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 547s is that the number increases by 547.

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 547 goes 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0 and 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 547.
