Count by 82 (Skip Counting by 82s)

Count by 82

Here we will show you how to count by 82, discuss counting by 82 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 82 matters. To start off, note that Count by 82 means counting in 82s, or count by eighty-twos, and it is also called skip counting by 82.

How to count by 82
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 82, we count 82, 164, 246, 328, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 82 or skip counting by 82, we start with 82 and then add 82 to get the next number, and then continue adding 82 to the previous number to keep counting by 82, like this:

82
82 + 82 = 164
164 + 82 = 246
246 + 82 = 328
328 + 82 = 410
...

You can of course skip count by 82 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 82 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 82, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 82, and so forth.

Count by 82 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 82s 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 82, but don't have the Counting by 82s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 82s is that the number increases by 82.

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 82 goes 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 82.

Why Count by 82?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 82 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by eighty-two, you are also creating a list of multiples of 82 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 82 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 82.

When you skip count by 82, you are also creating a list of numbers that 82 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 82 is the same as making the 82 times table.
