Count by 863 (Skip Counting by 863s)

Count by 863

Here we will show you how to count by 863, discuss counting by 863 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 863 matters. To start off, note that Count by 863 means counting in 863s, or count by eight hundred sixty-threes, and it is also called skip counting by 863.

How to count by 863
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 863, we count 863, 1726, 2589, 3452, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 863 or skip counting by 863, we start with 863 and then add 863 to get the next number, and then continue adding 863 to the previous number to keep counting by 863, like this:

863
863 + 863 = 1726
1726 + 863 = 2589
2589 + 863 = 3452
3452 + 863 = 4315
...

You can of course skip count by 863 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 863 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 863, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 863, and so forth.

Count by 863 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 863s 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 863, but don't have the Counting by 863s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 863s is that the number increases by 863.

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 863 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 863.
