Count by 728 (Skip Counting by 728s)

Count by 728

Here we will show you how to count by 728, discuss counting by 728 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 728 matters. To start off, note that Count by 728 means counting in 728s, or count by seven hundred twenty-eights, and it is also called skip counting by 728.

How to count by 728
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 728, we count 728, 1456, 2184, 2912, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 728 or skip counting by 728, we start with 728 and then add 728 to get the next number, and then continue adding 728 to the previous number to keep counting by 728, like this:

728
728 + 728 = 1456
1456 + 728 = 2184
2184 + 728 = 2912
2912 + 728 = 3640
...

You can of course skip count by 728 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 728 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 728, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 728, and so forth.

Count by 728 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 728s 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 728, but don't have the Counting by 728s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 728s is that the number increases by 728.

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 728 goes 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 728.
