Count by 624 (Skip Counting by 624s)

Count by 624

Here we will show you how to count by 624, discuss counting by 624 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 624 matters. To start off, note that Count by 624 means counting in 624s, or count by six hundred twenty-fours, and it is also called skip counting by 624.

How to count by 624
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 624, we count 624, 1248, 1872, 2496, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 624 or skip counting by 624, we start with 624 and then add 624 to get the next number, and then continue adding 624 to the previous number to keep counting by 624, like this:

624
624 + 624 = 1248
1248 + 624 = 1872
1872 + 624 = 2496
2496 + 624 = 3120
...

You can of course skip count by 624 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 624 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 624, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 624, and so forth.

Count by 624 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 624s 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 624, but don't have the Counting by 624s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 624s is that the number increases by 624.

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 624 goes 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 624.

Why Count by 624?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 624 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 twenty-four, you are also creating a list of multiples of 624 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 624 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 624.

When you skip count by 624, you are also creating a list of numbers that 624 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 624 is the same as making the 624 times table.
