Count by 874 (Skip Counting by 874s)

Count by 874

Here we will show you how to count by 874, discuss counting by 874 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 874 matters. To start off, note that Count by 874 means counting in 874s, or count by eight hundred seventy-fours, and it is also called skip counting by 874.

How to count by 874
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 874, we count 874, 1748, 2622, 3496, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 874 or skip counting by 874, we start with 874 and then add 874 to get the next number, and then continue adding 874 to the previous number to keep counting by 874, like this:

874
874 + 874 = 1748
1748 + 874 = 2622
2622 + 874 = 3496
3496 + 874 = 4370
...

You can of course skip count by 874 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 874 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 874, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 874, and so forth.

Count by 874 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 874s 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 874, but don't have the Counting by 874s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 874s is that the number increases by 874.

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 874 goes 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 874.
