Count by 659 (Skip Counting by 659s)

Count by 659

Here we will show you how to count by 659, discuss counting by 659 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 659 matters. To start off, note that Count by 659 means counting in 659s, or count by six hundred fifty-nines, and it is also called skip counting by 659.

How to count by 659
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 659, we count 659, 1318, 1977, 2636, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 659 or skip counting by 659, we start with 659 and then add 659 to get the next number, and then continue adding 659 to the previous number to keep counting by 659, like this:

659
659 + 659 = 1318
1318 + 659 = 1977
1977 + 659 = 2636
2636 + 659 = 3295
...

You can of course skip count by 659 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 659 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 659, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 659, and so forth.

Count by 659 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 659s 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 659, but don't have the Counting by 659s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 659s is that the number increases by 659.

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 659 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 659.
