Count by 808 (Skip Counting by 808s)

Count by 808

Here we will show you how to count by 808, discuss counting by 808 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 808 matters. To start off, note that Count by 808 means counting in 808s, or count by eight hundred eights, and it is also called skip counting by 808.

How to count by 808
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 808, we count 808, 1616, 2424, 3232, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 808 or skip counting by 808, we start with 808 and then add 808 to get the next number, and then continue adding 808 to the previous number to keep counting by 808, like this:

808
808 + 808 = 1616
1616 + 808 = 2424
2424 + 808 = 3232
3232 + 808 = 4040
...

You can of course skip count by 808 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 808 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 808, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 808, and so forth.

Count by 808 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 808s 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 808, but don't have the Counting by 808s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 808s is that the number increases by 808.

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 808 goes 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 808.

Why Count by 808?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 808 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 eight, you are also creating a list of multiples of 808 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 808 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 808.

When you skip count by 808, you are also creating a list of numbers that 808 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 808 is the same as making the 808 times table.
