Personally, the most logical for me would be 22.
The sequence appears to be decreasing by 3, then increasing by 3. Following this pattern, starting from 33, if we subtract 3, we get 30. Thus, the missing number is 30. The complete sequence would be 33, 30, 24, 27.
The next number is 26-2 = 24 followed by 24-1 = 23
The next numbers in the sequences are 48, 96, 192, 384, etc. The pattern is that each subsequent number is a doubling of the previous number.
The given pattern appears to alternate between two sequences: one sequence that doubles the previous number (3 to 6 to 12) and another that adds 1 to the previous number (4 to 20). Following this pattern, after 20, the next number in the doubling sequence would be 24, as it continues from 12. Thus, the next number in the pattern is 24.
Each number is being multiplied by 8.8 x 1536 = 12,288.
The following numbers go into 24. 1,2,3,4,6,8 and 12
It's not possible to 'complete' it, as it has potentially an infinite number of terms. The next five terms after those shown are: 10, 4, -3, -11, -20 . After those, there are only an infinite number more.
Not sure about "completing" the pattern since there following is the solution from an infinite sequence. You can fit the polynomial: t(n) = (-45n6 + 993n5 - 8385n4 + 33895n3 - 66930n2 + 59192n - 15360)/240 with n = 1, 2, 3, ... and the next term will be -308.
To find the next number in the sequence, we can look for a pattern. Each number seems to be derived by taking the digits of the previous number, rearranging them, and performing some operations. Specifically, 4642 can be rearranged and simplified to give 1428, then to 24, and finally to 816. Following this pattern, the next number in the sequence is likely a rearrangement or a transformation of 816, potentially leading to the number 48.
Judging by the sequence so far, it appears as though the differences are increasing by 3, while the added numbers are increasing by 6. Therefore, following 17 will be 24 + 6 = 30. Following 30 will be 17 + 3 = 20.
To identify the pattern, we can look at the differences between consecutive numbers: 5 - 14 = -9, 18 - 5 = 13, 24 - 18 = 6, and so on. The differences are alternating in a way that suggests the next number should follow a specific sequence. Continuing the pattern, after 34, the next number would be 40, as it adds 6, consistent with the established pattern.
It is 24 and it should be 25 as a square number
