Count by 802 (Skip Counting by 802s)

Count by 802

Here we will show you how to count by 802, discuss counting by 802 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 802 matters. To start off, note that Count by 802 means counting in 802s, or count by eight hundred twos, and it is also called skip counting by 802.

How to count by 802
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 802, we count 802, 1604, 2406, 3208, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 802 or skip counting by 802, we start with 802 and then add 802 to get the next number, and then continue adding 802 to the previous number to keep counting by 802, like this:

802
802 + 802 = 1604
1604 + 802 = 2406
2406 + 802 = 3208
3208 + 802 = 4010
...

You can of course skip count by 802 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 802 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 802, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 802, and so forth.

Count by 802 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 802s 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 802, but don't have the Counting by 802s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 802s is that the number increases by 802.

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 802 goes 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 802.

Why Count by 802?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 802 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by eight hundred two, you are also creating a list of multiples of 802 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 802 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 802.

When you skip count by 802, you are also creating a list of numbers that 802 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 802 is the same as making the 802 times table.
