Count by 589

Here we will show you how to count by 589, discuss counting by 589 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 589 matters. To start off, note that Count by 589 means counting in 589s, or count by five hundred eighty-nines, and it is also called skip counting by 589.

How to count by 589
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 589, we count 589, 1178, 1767, 2356, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 589 or skip counting by 589, we start with 589 and then add 589 to get the next number, and then continue adding 589 to the previous number to keep counting by 589, like this:

589
589 + 589 = 1178
1178 + 589 = 1767
1767 + 589 = 2356
2356 + 589 = 2945
...

You can of course skip count by 589 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 589 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 589, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 589, and so forth.

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 589 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 589.
