Count by 3680

Here we will show you how to count by 3680, discuss counting by 3680 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 3680 matters. To start off, note that Count by 3680 means counting in 3680s, or count by three thousand six hundred eighties, and it is also called skip counting by 3680.

How to count by 3680
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 3680, we count 3680, 7360, 11040, 14720, and so on.

3680
3680 + 3680 = 7360
7360 + 3680 = 11040
11040 + 3680 = 14720
14720 + 3680 = 18400
...

You can of course skip count by 3680 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 3680 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 3680, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 3680, and so forth.
