How to count by 8404
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 8404, we count 8404, 16808, 25212, 33616, and so on.

33616 + 8404 = 42020
...

You can of course skip count by 8404 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 8404 Chart of the first 100 numbers to get you started.
