Count by 602 (Skip Counting by 602s)

Count by 602

Here we will show you how to count by 602, discuss counting by 602 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 602 matters. To start off, note that Count by 602 means counting in 602s, or count by six hundred twos, and it is also called skip counting by 602.

How to count by 602
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 602, we count 602, 1204, 1806, 2408, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 602 or skip counting by 602, we start with 602 and then add 602 to get the next number, and then continue adding 602 to the previous number to keep counting by 602, like this:

602
602 + 602 = 1204
1204 + 602 = 1806
1806 + 602 = 2408
2408 + 602 = 3010
...

You can of course skip count by 602 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 602 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 602, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 602, and so forth.

Count by 602 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 602s 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 602, but don't have the Counting by 602s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 602s is that the number increases by 602.

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 602 goes 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 602.

Why Count by 602?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 602 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by six hundred two, you are also creating a list of multiples of 602 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 602 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 602.

When you skip count by 602, you are also creating a list of numbers that 602 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 602 is the same as making the 602 times table.
