Count by 995

Here we will show you how to count by 995, discuss counting by 995 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 995 matters. To start off, note that Count by 995 means counting in 995s, or count by nine hundred ninety-fives, and it is also called skip counting by 995.

How to count by 995
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 995, we count 995, 1990, 2985, 3980, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 995 or skip counting by 995, we start with 995 and then add 995 to get the next number, and then continue adding 995 to the previous number to keep counting by 995, like this:

995
995 + 995 = 1990
1990 + 995 = 2985
2985 + 995 = 3980
3980 + 995 = 4975
...
