Count by 742 (Skip Counting by 742s)

Count by 742

Here we will show you how to count by 742, discuss counting by 742 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 742 matters. To start off, note that Count by 742 means counting in 742s, or count by seven hundred forty-twos, and it is also called skip counting by 742.

How to count by 742
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 742, we count 742, 1484, 2226, 2968, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 742 or skip counting by 742, we start with 742 and then add 742 to get the next number, and then continue adding 742 to the previous number to keep counting by 742, like this:

742
742 + 742 = 1484
1484 + 742 = 2226
2226 + 742 = 2968
2968 + 742 = 3710
...

You can of course skip count by 742 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 742 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 742, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 742, and so forth.

Count by 742 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 742s 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 742, but don't have the Counting by 742s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 742s is that the number increases by 742.

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 742 goes 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 742.
