How to count by 1225
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 1225, we count 1225, 2450, 3675, 4900, and so on.

1225
1225 + 1225 = 2450
2450 + 1225 = 3675
3675 + 1225 = 4900
4900 + 1225 = 6125
...

You can of course skip count by 1225 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 1225 Chart of the first 100 numbers to get you started.
