Count by 940 (Skip Counting by 940s)

Count by 940

Here we will show you how to count by 940, discuss counting by 940 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 940 matters. To start off, note that Count by 940 means counting in 940s, or count by nine hundred forties, and it is also called skip counting by 940.

How to count by 940
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 940, we count 940, 1880, 2820, 3760, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 940 or skip counting by 940, we start with 940 and then add 940 to get the next number, and then continue adding 940 to the previous number to keep counting by 940, like this:

940
940 + 940 = 1880
1880 + 940 = 2820
2820 + 940 = 3760
3760 + 940 = 4700
...

You can of course skip count by 940 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 940 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 940, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 940, and so forth.

Count by 940 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 940s 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 940, but don't have the Counting by 940s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 940s is that the number increases by 940.

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 940 goes 0 and 0 and so on for as long as you count by 940.

Why Count by 940?

When you count by nine hundred forty, you are also creating a list of multiples of 940 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 940 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 940.

When you skip count by 940, you are also creating a list of numbers that 940 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 940 is the same as making the 940 times table.
