16
The next number is 4, followed by -2
You add two then take one. 1+2=3, 3-1=2, 2+2=4, 4-1=3. The next number is 5.

4.
The next number in the series 1 2 4 8 10 20 22 is
8
The Pattern is 1^2- 2^2- 3^2- 4^2- 5^2 or 1 - 4 - 9 - 16 - 25 The next number in the series is 6^2 or 36
If you mean: 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 then the next number is 32
The next number is 1595. The series is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 4 and then subtracting (n - 1). 1st number = 2 - ( 1 - 1) = 2 2nd number = (4 x 2) - (2 - 1) = 7 3rd number = (4 x 7) - (3 - 1) = 26 4th number = (4 x 26) - (4 - 1) = 101 5th number = (4 x 101) - (5 - 1) = 400 6th number = (4 x 400) - (6 - 1) = 1595
16 is the next number. All you do is sequentially add the next odd number. Therfore after 16 the next number would be 25... the next 36... the next 49... the next 54...
This is a 4 step sequence , starting with the number 1. 1) Double the number 2) Add 2 3) Subtract 1 4) Return to step 1) and repeat. 1 x 2 = 2 ; 2 + 2 = 4 ; 4 - 1 = 3 ; ..........7 x 2 = 14 ; 14 + 2 = 16. Then the next number is generated by Step 3).. 16 - 1 = 15
