Count by 816 (Skip Counting by 816s)

Count by 816

Here we will show you how to count by 816, discuss counting by 816 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 816 matters. To start off, note that Count by 816 means counting in 816s, or count by eight hundred sixteens, and it is also called skip counting by 816.

How to count by 816
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 816, we count 816, 1632, 2448, 3264, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 816 or skip counting by 816, we start with 816 and then add 816 to get the next number, and then continue adding 816 to the previous number to keep counting by 816, like this:

816
816 + 816 = 1632
1632 + 816 = 2448
2448 + 816 = 3264
3264 + 816 = 4080
...

You can of course skip count by 816 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 816 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 816, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 816, and so forth.

Count by 816 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 816s 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 816, but don't have the Counting by 816s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 816s is that the number increases by 816.

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 816 goes 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 816.
