Count by 886

Here we will show you how to count by 886, discuss counting by 886 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 886 matters. To start off, note that Count by 886 means counting in 886s, or count by eight hundred eighty-sixes, and it is also called skip counting by 886.

How to count by 886
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 886, we count 886, 1772, 2658, 3544, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 886 or skip counting by 886, we start with 886 and then add 886 to get the next number, and then continue adding 886 to the previous number to keep counting by 886, like this:

886
886 + 886 = 1772
1772 + 886 = 2658
2658 + 886 = 3544
3544 + 886 = 4430
...

You can of course skip count by 886 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 886 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 886, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 886, and so forth.

Count by 886 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 886s 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 886, but don't have the Counting by 886s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 886s is that the number increases by 886.

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 886 goes 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and 6, 2, 8, 4, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 886.
