Count by 860 (Skip Counting by 860s)

Count by 860

Here we will show you how to count by 860, discuss counting by 860 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 860 matters. To start off, note that Count by 860 means counting in 860s, or count by eight hundred sixties, and it is also called skip counting by 860.

How to count by 860
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 860, we count 860, 1720, 2580, 3440, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 860 or skip counting by 860, we start with 860 and then add 860 to get the next number, and then continue adding 860 to the previous number to keep counting by 860, like this:

860
860 + 860 = 1720
1720 + 860 = 2580
2580 + 860 = 3440
3440 + 860 = 4300
...

You can of course skip count by 860 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 860 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 860, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 860, and so forth.

Count by 860 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 860s 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 860, but don't have the Counting by 860s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 860s is that the number increases by 860.

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 1 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 860 goes 0 and 0 and so on for as long as you count by 860.
