Count by 65 (Skip Counting by 65s)

Count by 65

Here we will show you how to count by 65, discuss counting by 65 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 65 matters. To start off, note that Count by 65 means counting in 65s, or count by sixty-fives, and it is also called skip counting by 65.

How to count by 65
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 65, we count 65, 130, 195, 260, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 65 or skip counting by 65, we start with 65 and then add 65 to get the next number, and then continue adding 65 to the previous number to keep counting by 65, like this:

65
65 + 65 = 130
130 + 65 = 195
195 + 65 = 260
260 + 65 = 325
...

You can of course skip count by 65 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 65 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 65, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 65, and so forth.

Count by 65 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 65s 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 65, but don't have the Counting by 65s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 65s is that the number increases by 65.

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 2 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 65 goes 5, 0 and 5, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 65.

Why Count by 65?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 65 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-five, you are also creating a list of multiples of 65 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 65 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 65.

When you skip count by 65, you are also creating a list of numbers that 65 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 65 is the same as making the 65 times table.
