How to count by 3840
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 3840, we count 3840, 7680, 11520, 15360, and so on.

3840
3840 + 3840 = 7680
7680 + 3840 = 11520
11520 + 3840 = 15360
15360 + 3840 = 19200
...

You can of course skip count by 3840 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 3840 Chart of the first 100 numbers to get you started.
