Count by 580 (Skip Counting by 580s)

Count by 580

Here we will show you how to count by 580, discuss counting by 580 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 580 matters. To start off, note that Count by 580 means counting in 580s, or count by five hundred eighties, and it is also called skip counting by 580.

How to count by 580
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 580, we count 580, 1160, 1740, 2320, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 580 or skip counting by 580, we start with 580 and then add 580 to get the next number, and then continue adding 580 to the previous number to keep counting by 580, like this:

580
580 + 580 = 1160
1160 + 580 = 1740
1740 + 580 = 2320
2320 + 580 = 2900
...

You can of course skip count by 580 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 580 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 580, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 580, and so forth.

Count by 580 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 580s 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 580, but don't have the Counting by 580s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 580s is that the number increases by 580.

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 1 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 580 goes 0 and 0 and so on for as long as you count by 580.

Why Count by 580?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 580 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 eighty, you are also creating a list of multiples of 580 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 580 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 580.

When you skip count by 580, you are also creating a list of numbers that 580 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 580 is the same as making the 580 times table.
