There are commands to store a number in a register, to insert the number in the buffer in decimal, and to increment it. These commands can be useful in keyboard macros (see Keyboard Macros).

Store number into register reg ( |
| C-u number C-x r + reg | Increment the number in register reg by number
(increment-register).

| C-x r g reg | Insert the number from register reg into the buffer. |
C-x r g is the same command used to insert any other sort of register contents into the buffer.
