Count by 479 (Skip Counting by 479s)

Count by 479

Here we will show you how to count by 479, discuss counting by 479 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 479 matters. To start off, note that Count by 479 means counting in 479s, or count by four hundred seventy-nines, and it is also called skip counting by 479.

How to count by 479
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 479, we count 479, 958, 1437, 1916, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 479 or skip counting by 479, we start with 479 and then add 479 to get the next number, and then continue adding 479 to the previous number to keep counting by 479, like this:

479
479 + 479 = 958
958 + 479 = 1437
1437 + 479 = 1916
1916 + 479 = 2395
...

You can of course skip count by 479 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 479 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 479, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 479, and so forth.

Count by 479 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 479s 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 479, but don't have the Counting by 479s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 479s is that the number increases by 479.

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 479 goes 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 479.
