Count by 939

Here we will show you how to count by 939, discuss counting by 939 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 939 matters. To start off, note that Count by 939 means counting in 939s, or count by nine hundred thirty-nines, and it is also called skip counting by 939.

How to count by 939
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 939, we count 939, 1878, 2817, 3756, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 939 or skip counting by 939, we start with 939 and then add 939 to get the next number, and then continue adding 939 to the previous number to keep counting by 939, like this:

939
939 + 939 = 1878
1878 + 939 = 2817
2817 + 939 = 3756
3756 + 939 = 4695
...

You can of course skip count by 939 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 939 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 939, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 939, and so forth.

Count by 939 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 939s 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 939, but don't have the Counting by 939s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 939s is that the number increases by 939.

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 939 goes 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 939.
