Count by 994

Here we will show you how to count by 994, discuss counting by 994 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 994 matters. To start off, note that Count by 994 means counting in 994s, or count by nine hundred ninety-fours, and it is also called skip counting by 994.

How to count by 994
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 994, we count 994, 1988, 2982, 3976, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 994 or skip counting by 994, we start with 994 and then add 994 to get the next number, and then continue adding 994 to the previous number to keep counting by 994, like this:

994
994 + 994 = 1988
1988 + 994 = 2982
2982 + 994 = 3976
3976 + 994 = 4970
...

You can of course skip count by 994 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 994 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 994, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 994, and so forth.

Count by 994 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 994s Chart above in 10 rows and 10 columns so you can easily identify patterns.
