Count by 875 (Skip Counting by 875s)

Count by 875

Here we will show you how to count by 875, discuss counting by 875 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 875 matters. To start off, note that Count by 875 means counting in 875s, or count by eight hundred seventy-fives, and it is also called skip counting by 875.

How to count by 875
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 875, we count 875, 1750, 2625, 3500, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 875 or skip counting by 875, we start with 875 and then add 875 to get the next number, and then continue adding 875 to the previous number to keep counting by 875, like this:

875
875 + 875 = 1750
1750 + 875 = 2625
2625 + 875 = 3500
3500 + 875 = 4375
...

You can of course skip count by 875 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 875 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 875, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 875, and so forth.

Count by 875 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 875s 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 875, but don't have the Counting by 875s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 875s is that the number increases by 875.

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 2 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 875 goes 5, 0 and 5, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 875.
