How to count by 8280
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 8280, we count 8280, 16560, 24840, 33120, and so on.

8280
8280 + 8280 = 16560
16560 + 8280 = 24840
24840 + 8280 = 33120
33120 + 8280 = 41400
...

You can of course skip count by 8280 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 8280 Chart of the first 100 numbers to get you started.
