Number Series
Spot the pattern and predict the next term
The Rule
- 1Look at the difference (or ratio) between each pair of consecutive terms.
- 2If the difference is constant, it's an arithmetic series — keep adding that difference.
- 3If the ratio is constant, it's a geometric series — keep multiplying by that ratio.
- 4Apply the same rule to the last given term to find the next one.
