How to count by 976
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 976, we count 976, 1952, 2928, 3904, and so on.

976
976 + 976 = 1952
1952 + 976 = 2928
2928 + 976 = 3904
3904 + 976 = 4880
...

You can of course skip count by 976 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 976 Chart of the first 100 numbers to get you started.

Looking at the chart above, you will see that the first column has the first ten numbers you get when you skip count by 976, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 976, and so forth.
