A single number, such as 62496384, does not comprise a sequence!

You cannot solve a sequence: you can only solve a question about the sequence. The idea is to find the pattern, so you know what comes next.
You cant solve the next term (next number) in this sequence. You need more terms, because this is either a "quadratic sequence", or a "linear and quadratic sequence", and you need more terms than this to solve a "linear and quadratic sequence" and for this particular "quadratic sequence" you would need more terms to solve nth term, which would solve what the next number is. If this is homework, check with your teacher if he wrote the wrong sum.
This is a sequence based on the squares of numbers (positive integers) but starting with the square of 2. Under normal circumstances the sequence formula would be n2 but as the first term is 4, the sequence formula becomes, (n + 1)2. Check : the third term is (3 + 1)2 = 42 = 16
There is no way to answer your question. It is not an equation, because there is no equal sign. There is no explanation if it is a sequence of arithmetic or geometric numbers. There is nothing to go on to solve for a value of B.
First, count how much is between each number in the sequence. That is the number you will put in front of the x. 4,5,6,7,8... y=1x+b Secondly, solve for b. In this case x=1 then b must be 3 to make it work.
