Count by 891 (Skip Counting by 891s)

Count by 891

Here we will show you how to count by 891, discuss counting by 891 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 891 matters. To start off, note that Count by 891 means counting in 891s, or count by eight hundred ninety-ones, and it is also called skip counting by 891.

How to count by 891
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 891, we count 891, 1782, 2673, 3564, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 891 or skip counting by 891, we start with 891 and then add 891 to get the next number, and then continue adding 891 to the previous number to keep counting by 891, like this:

891
891 + 891 = 1782
1782 + 891 = 2673
2673 + 891 = 3564
3564 + 891 = 4455
...

You can of course skip count by 891 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 891 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 891, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 891, and so forth.

Count by 891 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 891s 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 891, but don't have the Counting by 891s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 891s is that the number increases by 891.

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 891 goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 891.
