Count by 785

Here we will show you how to count by 785, discuss counting by 785 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 785 matters. To start off, note that Count by 785 means counting in 785s, or count by seven hundred eighty-fives, and it is also called skip counting by 785.

How to count by 785
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 785, we count 785, 1570, 2355, 3140, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 785 or skip counting by 785, we start with 785 and then add 785 to get the next number, and then continue adding 785 to the previous number to keep counting by 785, like this:

785
785 + 785 = 1570
1570 + 785 = 2355
2355 + 785 = 3140
3140 + 785 = 3925
...

You can of course skip count by 785 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 785 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 785, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 785, and so forth.
