Count by 656 (Skip Counting by 656s)

Count by 656

Here we will show you how to count by 656, discuss counting by 656 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 656 matters. To start off, note that Count by 656 means counting in 656s, or count by six hundred fifty-sixes, and it is also called skip counting by 656.

How to count by 656
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 656, we count 656, 1312, 1968, 2624, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 656 or skip counting by 656, we start with 656 and then add 656 to get the next number, and then continue adding 656 to the previous number to keep counting by 656, like this:

656
656 + 656 = 1312
1312 + 656 = 1968
1968 + 656 = 2624
2624 + 656 = 3280
...

You can of course skip count by 656 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 656 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 656, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 656, and so forth.

Count by 656 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 656s 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 656, but don't have the Counting by 656s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 656s is that the number increases by 656.

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 5 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 656 goes 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 656.
