What is the next number: 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ?
Answer: 34
Each term is the sum of the two preceding terms: 13 + 21 = 34.
Which number comes next: 50, 25, 50, 25, 50, ?
Answer: 25
The sequence alternates between 50 and 25, so the next term is 25.
Find the next term: 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, ?
Answer: 63
Each term equals (previous × 2) + 1, so 31 × 2 + 1 = 63.
What is the next number: 10, 12, 15, 19, 24, ?
Answer: 30
Differences increase by 1 each step (2, 3, 4, 5, 6), so 24 + 6 = 30.
Complete the series: 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, ?
Answer: 2
Each term is halved, so 4 ÷ 2 = 2.
What comes next: 7, 14, 12, 24, 22, ?
Answer: 44
The pattern alternates ×2 and −2; 22 × 2 = 44.
Find the next number: 6, 11, 21, 41, 81, ?
Answer: 161
Each term equals (previous × 2) − 1, so 81 × 2 − 1 = 161.
