Count by 618 (Skip Counting by 618s)

Count by 618

Here we will show you how to count by 618, discuss counting by 618 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 618 matters. To start off, note that Count by 618 means counting in 618s, or count by six hundred eighteens, and it is also called skip counting by 618.

How to count by 618
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 618, we count 618, 1236, 1854, 2472, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 618 or skip counting by 618, we start with 618 and then add 618 to get the next number, and then continue adding 618 to the previous number to keep counting by 618, like this:

618
618 + 618 = 1236
1236 + 618 = 1854
1854 + 618 = 2472
2472 + 618 = 3090
...

You can of course skip count by 618 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 618 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 618, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 618, and so forth.

Count by 618 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 618s 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 618, but don't have the Counting by 618s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 618s is that the number increases by 618.

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 618 goes 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 618.
