How to count by 4721
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 4721, we count 4721, 9442, 14163, 18884, and so on.

4721
4721 + 4721 = 9442
9442 + 4721 = 14163
14163 + 4721 = 18884
18884 + 4721 = 23605
...

You can of course skip count by 4721 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 4721 Chart of the first 100 numbers to get you started.
