Count by 851 (Skip Counting by 851s)

Count by 851

Here we will show you how to count by 851, discuss counting by 851 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 851 matters. To start off, note that Count by 851 means counting in 851s, or count by eight hundred fifty-ones, and it is also called skip counting by 851.

How to count by 851
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 851, we count 851, 1702, 2553, 3404, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 851 or skip counting by 851, we start with 851 and then add 851 to get the next number, and then continue adding 851 to the previous number to keep counting by 851, like this:

851
851 + 851 = 1702
1702 + 851 = 2553
2553 + 851 = 3404
3404 + 851 = 4255
...

You can of course skip count by 851 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 851 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 851, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 851, and so forth.

Count by 851 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 851s 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 851, but don't have the Counting by 851s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 851s is that the number increases by 851.

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 851 goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 851.

Why Count by 851?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 851 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 fifty-one, you are also creating a list of multiples of 851 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 851 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 851.

When you skip count by 851, you are also creating a list of numbers that 851 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 851 is the same as making the 851 times table.
