How to count by 6402
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 6402, we count 6402, 12804, 19206, 25608, and so on.

6402
6402 + 6402 = 12804
12804 + 6402 = 19206
19206 + 6402 = 25608
25608 + 6402 = 32010
...

You can of course skip count by 6402 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 6402 Chart of the first 100 numbers to get you started.
