Count by 974

Here we will show you how to count by 974, discuss counting by 974 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 974 matters. To start off, note that Count by 974 means counting in 974s, or count by nine hundred seventy-fours, and it is also called skip counting by 974.

How to count by 974
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 974, we count 974, 1948, 2922, 3896, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 974 or skip counting by 974, we start with 974 and then add 974 to get the next number, and then continue adding 974 to the previous number to keep counting by 974, like this:

974
974 + 974 = 1948
1948 + 974 = 2922
2922 + 974 = 3896
3896 + 974 = 4870
...

You can of course skip count by 974 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 974 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 974, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 974, and so forth.

Count by 974 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 974s 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 974, but don't have the Counting by 974s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 974s is that the number increases by 974.

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 5 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 974 goes 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 974.
