Count by 854 (Skip Counting by 854s)

Count by 854

Here we will show you how to count by 854, discuss counting by 854 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 854 matters. To start off, note that Count by 854 means counting in 854s, or count by eight hundred fifty-fours, and it is also called skip counting by 854.

How to count by 854
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 854, we count 854, 1708, 2562, 3416, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 854 or skip counting by 854, we start with 854 and then add 854 to get the next number, and then continue adding 854 to the previous number to keep counting by 854, like this:

854
854 + 854 = 1708
1708 + 854 = 2562
2562 + 854 = 3416
3416 + 854 = 4270
...

You can of course skip count by 854 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 854 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 854, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 854, and so forth.

Count by 854 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 854s 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 854, but don't have the Counting by 854s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 854s is that the number increases by 854.

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 854 goes 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 854.

Why Count by 854?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 854 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-four, you are also creating a list of multiples of 854 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 854 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 854.

When you skip count by 854, you are also creating a list of numbers that 854 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 854 is the same as making the 854 times table.
