How to count by 1708
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 1708, we count 1708, 3416, 5124, 6832, and so on.

1708
1708 + 1708 = 3416
3416 + 1708 = 5124
5124 + 1708 = 6832
6832 + 1708 = 8540
...

You can of course skip count by 1708 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 1708 Chart of the first 100 numbers to get you started.
