Count by 608 (Skip Counting by 608s)

Count by 608

Here we will show you how to count by 608, discuss counting by 608 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 608 matters. To start off, note that Count by 608 means counting in 608s, or count by six hundred eights, and it is also called skip counting by 608.

How to count by 608
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 608, we count 608, 1216, 1824, 2432, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 608 or skip counting by 608, we start with 608 and then add 608 to get the next number, and then continue adding 608 to the previous number to keep counting by 608, like this:

608
608 + 608 = 1216
1216 + 608 = 1824
1824 + 608 = 2432
2432 + 608 = 3040
...

You can of course skip count by 608 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 608 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 608, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 608, and so forth.

Count by 608 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 608s 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 608, but don't have the Counting by 608s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 608s is that the number increases by 608.

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 608 goes 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 608.

Why Count by 608?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 608 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 eight, you are also creating a list of multiples of 608 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 608 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 608.

When you skip count by 608, you are also creating a list of numbers that 608 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 608 is the same as making the 608 times table.
