How to count by 5180
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 5180, we count 5180, 10360, 15540, 20720, and so on.

5180
5180 + 5180 = 10360
10360 + 5180 = 15540
15540 + 5180 = 20720
20720 + 5180 = 25900
...

You can of course skip count by 5180 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 5180 Chart of the first 100 numbers to get you started.
