How to count by 969
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 969, we count 969, 1938, 2907, 3876, and so on.

969
969 + 969 = 1938
1938 + 969 = 2907
2907 + 969 = 3876
3876 + 969 = 4845
...

You can of course skip count by 969 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 969 Chart of the first 100 numbers to get you started.
