Which number is next: 1, 2, 6, 24, 120, ___?
Answer: 720
These are factorials (1!, 2!, 3!, 4!, 5!), so the next is 6! = 720.
Find the next value: 256, 64, 16, 4, ___?
Answer: 1
Each term is divided by 4, so 4 ÷ 4 = 1.
What is the missing number: 11, 22, 33, ___, 55, 66?
Answer: 44
These are multiples of 11, so the missing term is 11 × 4 = 44.
Complete the pattern: 2, 6, 18, 54, 162, ___?
Answer: 486
Each term is multiplied by 3, so 162 × 3 = 486.
What comes next: 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, ___?
Answer: 63
Each term is doubled then 1 is added, so 31 × 2 + 1 = 63.
Find the next number: 10, 9, 7, 4, 0, ___?
Answer: −5
The differences decrease by 1 each time (−1, −2, −3, −4, −5), so 0 − 5 = −5.
Which number completes the sequence: 8, 16, 12, 24, 20, 40, ___?
Answer: 36
The pattern alternates ×2 and −4, so 40 − 4 = 36.
