Count by 899

Here we will show you how to count by 899, discuss counting by 899 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 899 matters. To start off, note that Count by 899 means counting in 899s, or count by eight hundred ninety-nines, and it is also called skip counting by 899.

How to count by 899
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 899, we count 899, 1798, 2697, 3596, and so on.

899
899 + 899 = 1798
1798 + 899 = 2697
2697 + 899 = 3596
3596 + 899 = 4495
...

You can of course skip count by 899 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 899 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 899, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 899, and so forth.
