How to count by 799
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 799, we count 799, 1598, 2397, 3196, and so on.

799
799 + 799 = 1598
1598 + 799 = 2397
2397 + 799 = 3196
3196 + 799 = 3995
...

You can of course skip count by 799 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 799 Chart of the first 100 numbers to get you started.
