Count by 777

Here we will show you how to count by 777, discuss counting by 777 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 777 matters. To start off, note that Count by 777 means counting in 777s, or count by seven hundred seventy-sevens, and it is also called skip counting by 777.

How to count by 777
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 777, we count 777, 1554, 2331, 3108, and so on.

777
777 + 777 = 1554
1554 + 777 = 2331
2331 + 777 = 3108
3108 + 777 = 3885
...

You can of course skip count by 777 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 777 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 777, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 777, and so forth.
