Count by 495 (Skip Counting by 495s)

Count by 495

Here we will show you how to count by 495, discuss counting by 495 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 495 matters. To start off, note that Count by 495 means counting in 495s, or count by four hundred ninety-fives, and it is also called skip counting by 495.

How to count by 495
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 495, we count 495, 990, 1485, 1980, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 495 or skip counting by 495, we start with 495 and then add 495 to get the next number, and then continue adding 495 to the previous number to keep counting by 495, like this:

495
495 + 495 = 990
990 + 495 = 1485
1485 + 495 = 1980
1980 + 495 = 2475
...

You can of course skip count by 495 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 495 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 495, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 495, and so forth.
