Count by 789

Here we will show you how to count by 789, discuss counting by 789 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 789 matters. To start off, note that Count by 789 means counting in 789s, or count by seven hundred eighty-nines, and it is also called skip counting by 789.

How to count by 789
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 789, we count 789, 1578, 2367, 3156, and so on.

789
789 + 789 = 1578
1578 + 789 = 2367
2367 + 789 = 3156
3156 + 789 = 3945
...

You can of course skip count by 789 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 789 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 789, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 789, and so forth.
