Count by 852 (Skip Counting by 852s)

Count by 852

Here we will show you how to count by 852, discuss counting by 852 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 852 matters. To start off, note that Count by 852 means counting in 852s, or count by eight hundred fifty-twos, and it is also called skip counting by 852.

How to count by 852
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 852, we count 852, 1704, 2556, 3408, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 852 or skip counting by 852, we start with 852 and then add 852 to get the next number, and then continue adding 852 to the previous number to keep counting by 852, like this:

852
852 + 852 = 1704
1704 + 852 = 2556
2556 + 852 = 3408
3408 + 852 = 4260
...

You can of course skip count by 852 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 852 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 852, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 852, and so forth.

Count by 852 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 852s 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 852, but don't have the Counting by 852s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 852s is that the number increases by 852.

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 852 goes 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 852.

Why Count by 852?

When you count by eight hundred fifty-two, you are also creating a list of multiples of 852 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 852 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 852.

When you skip count by 852, you are also creating a list of numbers that 852 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 852 is the same as making the 852 times table.
