Count by 740 (Skip Counting by 740s)

Count by 740

Here we will show you how to count by 740, discuss counting by 740 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 740 matters. To start off, note that Count by 740 means counting in 740s, or count by seven hundred forties, and it is also called skip counting by 740.

How to count by 740
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 740, we count 740, 1480, 2220, 2960, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 740 or skip counting by 740, we start with 740 and then add 740 to get the next number, and then continue adding 740 to the previous number to keep counting by 740, like this:

740
740 + 740 = 1480
1480 + 740 = 2220
2220 + 740 = 2960
2960 + 740 = 3700
...

You can of course skip count by 740 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 740 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 740, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 740, and so forth.

Count by 740 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 740s 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 740, but don't have the Counting by 740s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 740s is that the number increases by 740.

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 1 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 740 goes 0 and 0 and so on for as long as you count by 740.

Why Count by 740?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 740 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by seven hundred forty, you are also creating a list of multiples of 740 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 740 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 740.

When you skip count by 740, you are also creating a list of numbers that 740 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 740 is the same as making the 740 times table.
