How to count by 3243
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 3243, we count 3243, 6486, 9729, 12972, and so on.

3243
3243 + 3243 = 6486
6486 + 3243 = 9729
9729 + 3243 = 12972
12972 + 3243 = 16215
...

You can of course skip count by 3243 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 3243 Chart of the first 100 numbers to get you started.
