Count by 787

Here we will show you how to count by 787, discuss counting by 787 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 787 matters. To start off, note that Count by 787 means counting in 787s, or count by seven hundred eighty-sevens, and it is also called skip counting by 787.

How to count by 787
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 787, we count 787, 1574, 2361, 3148, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 787 or skip counting by 787, we start with 787 and then add 787 to get the next number, and then continue adding 787 to the previous number to keep counting by 787, like this:

787
787 + 787 = 1574
1574 + 787 = 2361
2361 + 787 = 3148
3148 + 787 = 3935
...

You can of course skip count by 787 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 787 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 787, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 787, and so forth.

Count by 787 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 787s 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 787, but don't have the Counting by 787s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 787s is that the number increases by 787.

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 10 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 787 goes 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0 and 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 787.
