Count by 867 (Skip Counting by 867s)

Count by 867

Here we will show you how to count by 867, discuss counting by 867 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 867 matters. To start off, note that Count by 867 means counting in 867s, or count by eight hundred sixty-sevens, and it is also called skip counting by 867.

How to count by 867
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 867, we count 867, 1734, 2601, 3468, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 867 or skip counting by 867, we start with 867 and then add 867 to get the next number, and then continue adding 867 to the previous number to keep counting by 867, like this:

867
867 + 867 = 1734
1734 + 867 = 2601
2601 + 867 = 3468
3468 + 867 = 4335
...

You can of course skip count by 867 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 867 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 867, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 867, and so forth.

Count by 867 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 867s 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 867, but don't have the Counting by 867s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 867s is that the number increases by 867.

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 867 goes 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0 and 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 867.
