Find the next number: 8, 24, 72, 216, 648, ?
Rule: The pattern is geometric: multiply by 3 each step.
So the next number is 1944.
Find the next number: 8, 24, 72, 216, 648, ?
Rule: The pattern is geometric: multiply by 3 each step.
So the next number is 1944.
Find the next number: 4, 12, 36, 108, 324, ?
Rule: The pattern is geometric: multiply by 3 each step.
So the next number is 972.
Find the next number: 13, 21, 30, 38, 47, ?
Rule: The pattern alternates: +8, +9, +8, +9, ... so the next step is +8.
So the next number is 55.
