Count by 551 (Skip Counting by 551s)

Count by 551

Here we will show you how to count by 551, discuss counting by 551 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 551 matters. To start off, note that Count by 551 means counting in 551s, or count by five hundred fifty-ones, and it is also called skip counting by 551.

How to count by 551
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 551, we count 551, 1102, 1653, 2204, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 551 or skip counting by 551, we start with 551 and then add 551 to get the next number, and then continue adding 551 to the previous number to keep counting by 551, like this:

551
551 + 551 = 1102
1102 + 551 = 1653
1653 + 551 = 2204
2204 + 551 = 2755
...

You can of course skip count by 551 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 551 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 551, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 551, and so forth.

Count by 551 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 551s 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 551, but don't have the Counting by 551s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 551s is that the number increases by 551.

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 551 goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 551.

Why Count by 551?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 551 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 fifty-one, you are also creating a list of multiples of 551 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 551 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 551.

When you skip count by 551, you are also creating a list of numbers that 551 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 551 is the same as making the 551 times table.
