Count by 853 (Skip Counting by 853s)

Count by 853

Here we will show you how to count by 853, discuss counting by 853 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 853 matters. To start off, note that Count by 853 means counting in 853s, or count by eight hundred fifty-threes, and it is also called skip counting by 853.

How to count by 853
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 853, we count 853, 1706, 2559, 3412, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 853 or skip counting by 853, we start with 853 and then add 853 to get the next number, and then continue adding 853 to the previous number to keep counting by 853, like this:

853
853 + 853 = 1706
1706 + 853 = 2559
2559 + 853 = 3412
3412 + 853 = 4265
...

You can of course skip count by 853 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 853 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 853, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 853, and so forth.

Count by 853 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 853s 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 853, but don't have the Counting by 853s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 853s is that the number increases by 853.

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 853 goes 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0 and 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 853.

Why Count by 853?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 853 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-three, you are also creating a list of multiples of 853 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 853 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 853.

When you skip count by 853, you are also creating a list of numbers that 853 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 853 is the same as making the 853 times table.
