Count by 812 (Skip Counting by 812s)

Count by 812

Here we will show you how to count by 812, discuss counting by 812 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 812 matters. To start off, note that Count by 812 means counting in 812s, or count by eight hundred twelves, and it is also called skip counting by 812.

How to count by 812
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 812, we count 812, 1624, 2436, 3248, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 812 or skip counting by 812, we start with 812 and then add 812 to get the next number, and then continue adding 812 to the previous number to keep counting by 812, like this:

812
812 + 812 = 1624
1624 + 812 = 2436
2436 + 812 = 3248
3248 + 812 = 4060
...

You can of course skip count by 812 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 812 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 812, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 812, and so forth.

Count by 812 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 812s 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 812, but don't have the Counting by 812s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 812s is that the number increases by 812.

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 812 goes 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 812.

Why Count by 812?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 812 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by eight hundred twelve, you are also creating a list of multiples of 812 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 812 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 812.

When you skip count by 812, you are also creating a list of numbers that 812 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 812 is the same as making the 812 times table.
