Count by 63 (Skip Counting by 63s)

Count by 63

Here we will show you how to count by 63, discuss counting by 63 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 63 matters. To start off, note that Count by 63 means counting in 63s, or count by sixty-threes, and it is also called skip counting by 63.

How to count by 63
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 63, we count 63, 126, 189, 252, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 63 or skip counting by 63, we start with 63 and then add 63 to get the next number, and then continue adding 63 to the previous number to keep counting by 63, like this:

63
63 + 63 = 126
126 + 63 = 189
189 + 63 = 252
252 + 63 = 315
...

You can of course skip count by 63 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 63 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 63, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 63, and so forth.

Count by 63 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 63s 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 63, but don't have the Counting by 63s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 63s is that the number increases by 63.

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 10 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 63 goes 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0 and 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 63.

Why Count by 63?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 63 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by sixty-three, you are also creating a list of multiples of 63 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 63 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 63.

When you skip count by 63, you are also creating a list of numbers that 63 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 63 is the same as making the 63 times table.
