Count by 849 (Skip Counting by 849s)

Count by 849

Here we will show you how to count by 849, discuss counting by 849 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 849 matters. To start off, note that Count by 849 means counting in 849s, or count by eight hundred forty-nines, and it is also called skip counting by 849.

How to count by 849
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 849, we count 849, 1698, 2547, 3396, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 849 or skip counting by 849, we start with 849 and then add 849 to get the next number, and then continue adding 849 to the previous number to keep counting by 849, like this:

849
849 + 849 = 1698
1698 + 849 = 2547
2547 + 849 = 3396
3396 + 849 = 4245
...

You can of course skip count by 849 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 849 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 849, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 849, and so forth.

Count by 849 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 849s 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 849, but don't have the Counting by 849s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 849s is that the number increases by 849.

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 849 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 849.
