Count by 903 (Skip Counting by 903s)

Count by 903

Here we will show you how to count by 903, discuss counting by 903 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 903 matters. To start off, note that Count by 903 means counting in 903s, or count by nine hundred threes, and it is also called skip counting by 903.

How to count by 903
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 903, we count 903, 1806, 2709, 3612, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 903 or skip counting by 903, we start with 903 and then add 903 to get the next number, and then continue adding 903 to the previous number to keep counting by 903, like this:

903
903 + 903 = 1806
1806 + 903 = 2709
2709 + 903 = 3612
3612 + 903 = 4515
...

You can of course skip count by 903 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 903 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 903, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 903, and so forth.

Count by 903 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 903s 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 903, but don't have the Counting by 903s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 903s is that the number increases by 903.

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 10 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 903 goes 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0 and 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 903.

Why Count by 903?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 903 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by nine hundred three, you are also creating a list of multiples of 903 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 903 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 903.

When you skip count by 903, you are also creating a list of numbers that 903 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 903 is the same as making the 903 times table.
