For a linear sequence (same differences) look for the difference first. E.g.
7, 11, 15, 19 ...This has a difference of 4 so the first part of the rule is 4n. (the rule follows the 4 times table)
Now compare the sequence to the 4 times table
7, 11, 15, 19 ...4, 8, 12, 16 ...Out sequence is always 3 larger than the four times table so we adjust our rule by adding 3. So our final rule is 4n + 3.

The number that occurs most in a number sequence.
It is an irrational number; therefore the sequence is endless. The 'full number sequence' can never be known.
What is the the next number in the sequence 1,2,4,7,11,.....
A number sequence is an ordered set of numbers. There can be a rule such that the next number in the sequence can be determined by the values of some or all of the preceding terms in the sequence. However, the sequence for a random walk illustrates that such a rule is not necessary to define a sequence.
There is no sequence for a single number.
