Abstract
A method of regulating an internal combustion engine (1) having more than one cylinder (2), wherein individual cylinders (2) can be deactivated in accordance with a predeterminable pattern in dependence on the required power output, wherein the pattern comprises a time sequence of commands for ignition and commands for skipping ignition, wherein the pattern is derived with a calculation specification in such a way that the spacing between cylinders (2) intended for skipping in relation to the firing order is an odd number and preferably in coprime relationship with the number of cylinders.
