Count by 946

Here we will show you how to count by 946, discuss counting by 946 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 946 matters. To start off, note that Count by 946 means counting in 946s, or count by nine hundred forty-sixes, and it is also called skip counting by 946.

How to count by 946
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 946, we count 946, 1892, 2838, 3784, and so on.

946
946 + 946 = 1892
1892 + 946 = 2838
2838 + 946 = 3784
3784 + 946 = 4730
...

You can of course skip count by 946 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 946 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 946, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 946, and so forth.

Count by 946 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 946s Chart above in 10 rows and 10 columns so you can easily identify patterns.
