The next numbers in the sequence are... 16, then 88.
This sequence appears to be generated by adding the previous two numbers to get the next number. Starting with 2 and 6, we get 2 + 6 = 8. Then, 6 + 8 = 14, 8 + 14 = 22, and 14 + 22 = 36. This pattern follows the Fibonacci sequence, where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones.
The sequence decreases in a pattern: the first two numbers decrease by 2 (38 to 36), then by 6 (36 to 30), again by 2 (30 to 28), and finally by 6 (28 to 22). Following this pattern, the next decrease should be by 2, resulting in 22 - 2 = 20. Therefore, the next number in the sequence is 20.
14 can go into 36 two times, as 14 multiplied by 2 equals 28. If you try to multiply 14 by 3, you get 42, which exceeds 36. Therefore, the whole number quotient is 2, with a remainder of 8.
There are many possible answers. One of these is Un = (79n6 - 2421n5 + 28225n4 - 159375n3 + 453736n2 - 606804n - 281520)/360 for n = 1, 2, 3, ...
Find a number that can be divided into both 28 and 36. If for example you try the number 2, you get:28/36 = 14/18.Both 14 and 18 can be divided by 2 as well, so repeat:14/18 = 7/9.7 and 9 have no more divisors in common, so there's your answer.(You could also have saved a step by noticing that both 28 and 36 are divisible by 4.)

The LCM is 252.

Yes it is. In sequence from 1, the first 10 triangular numbers are... 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45 & 55.
14 can go into 36 two times, as 14 multiplied by 2 equals 28. If you try to multiply 14 by 3, you get 42, which exceeds 36. Therefore, the whole number quotient is 2, with a remainder of 8.

7 followed by 43, 9, 52, 11, and 63 etc.
I'm guessing your sequence is 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, ... In which case it continues: 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, 66, ... (These are the triangular numbers.)
12The next number in the sequence is the previous # divided by 3. So, 324/3 = 108; 108/3 = 36; 36/3 = 12
The number 36 is larger. It is 8 larger than 28.
