Count by 738

Here we will show you how to count by 738, discuss counting by 738 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 738 matters. To start off, note that Count by 738 means counting in 738s, or count by seven hundred thirty-eights, and it is also called skip counting by 738.

How to count by 738
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 738, we count 738, 1476, 2214, 2952, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 738 or skip counting by 738, we start with 738 and then add 738 to get the next number, and then continue adding 738 to the previous number to keep counting by 738, like this:

738
738 + 738 = 1476
1476 + 738 = 2214
2214 + 738 = 2952
2952 + 738 = 3690
...

You can of course skip count by 738 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 738 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 738, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 738, and so forth.

Count by 738 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 738s Chart above in 10 rows and 10 columns so you can easily identify patterns.

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 738 goes 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 738.
