Count by 617

Here we will show you how to count by 617, discuss counting by 617 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 617 matters. To start off, note that Count by 617 means counting in 617s, or count by six hundred seventeens, and it is also called skip counting by 617.

How to count by 617
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 617, we count 617, 1234, 1851, 2468, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 617 or skip counting by 617, we start with 617 and then add 617 to get the next number, and then continue adding 617 to the previous number to keep counting by 617, like this:

617
617 + 617 = 1234
1234 + 617 = 1851
1851 + 617 = 2468
2468 + 617 = 3085
...

You can of course skip count by 617 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 617 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 617, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 617, and so forth.

Count by 617 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 617s 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 617, but don't have the Counting by 617s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 617s is that the number increases by 617.

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 617 goes 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0 and 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 617.
