Count by 953 (Skip Counting by 953s)

Count by 953

Here we will show you how to count by 953, discuss counting by 953 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 953 matters. To start off, note that Count by 953 means counting in 953s, or count by nine hundred fifty-threes, and it is also called skip counting by 953.

How to count by 953
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 953, we count 953, 1906, 2859, 3812, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 953 or skip counting by 953, we start with 953 and then add 953 to get the next number, and then continue adding 953 to the previous number to keep counting by 953, like this:

953
953 + 953 = 1906
1906 + 953 = 2859
2859 + 953 = 3812
3812 + 953 = 4765
...

You can of course skip count by 953 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 953 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 953, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 953, and so forth.

Count by 953 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 953s 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 953, but don't have the Counting by 953s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 953s is that the number increases by 953.

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 953 goes 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0 and 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 953.
