Count by 679

Here we will show you how to count by 679, discuss counting by 679 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 679 matters. To start off, note that Count by 679 means counting in 679s, or count by six hundred seventy-nines, and it is also called skip counting by 679.

How to count by 679
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 679, we count 679, 1358, 2037, 2716, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 679 or skip counting by 679, we start with 679 and then add 679 to get the next number, and then continue adding 679 to the previous number to keep counting by 679, like this:

679
679 + 679 = 1358
1358 + 679 = 2037
2037 + 679 = 2716
2716 + 679 = 3395
...

You can of course skip count by 679 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 679 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 679, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 679, and so forth.
