Count by 579

Here we will show you how to count by 579, discuss counting by 579 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 579 matters. To start off, note that Count by 579 means counting in 579s, or count by five hundred seventy-nines, and it is also called skip counting by 579.

How to count by 579
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 579, we count 579, 1158, 1737, 2316, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 579 or skip counting by 579, we start with 579 and then add 579 to get the next number, and then continue adding 579 to the previous number to keep counting by 579, like this:

579
579 + 579 = 1158
1158 + 579 = 1737
1737 + 579 = 2316
2316 + 579 = 2895
...

You can of course skip count by 579 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 579 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 579, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 579, and so forth.
