Count by 839 (Skip Counting by 839s)

Count by 839

Here we will show you how to count by 839, discuss counting by 839 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 839 matters. To start off, note that Count by 839 means counting in 839s, or count by eight hundred thirty-nines, and it is also called skip counting by 839.

How to count by 839
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 839, we count 839, 1678, 2517, 3356, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 839 or skip counting by 839, we start with 839 and then add 839 to get the next number, and then continue adding 839 to the previous number to keep counting by 839, like this:

839
839 + 839 = 1678
1678 + 839 = 2517
2517 + 839 = 3356
3356 + 839 = 4195
...

You can of course skip count by 839 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 839 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 839, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 839, and so forth.

Count by 839 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 839s 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 839, but don't have the Counting by 839s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 839s is that the number increases by 839.

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 839 goes 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 839.
