Count by 724 (Skip Counting by 724s)

Count by 724

Here we will show you how to count by 724, discuss counting by 724 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 724 matters. To start off, note that Count by 724 means counting in 724s, or count by seven hundred twenty-fours, and it is also called skip counting by 724.

How to count by 724
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 724, we count 724, 1448, 2172, 2896, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 724 or skip counting by 724, we start with 724 and then add 724 to get the next number, and then continue adding 724 to the previous number to keep counting by 724, like this:

724
724 + 724 = 1448
1448 + 724 = 2172
2172 + 724 = 2896
2896 + 724 = 3620
...

You can of course skip count by 724 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 724 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 724, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 724, and so forth.

Count by 724 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 724s 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 724, but don't have the Counting by 724s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 724s is that the number increases by 724.

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 724 goes 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 724.

Why Count by 724?

When you count by seven hundred twenty-four, you are also creating a list of multiples of 724 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 724 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 724.

When you skip count by 724, you are also creating a list of numbers that 724 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 724 is the same as making the 724 times table.
