An arithmetic series is the sequence of partial sums of an arithmetic sequence. That is, if A = {a, a+d, a+2d, ..., a+(n-1)d, ... } then the terms of the arithmetic series, S(n), are the sums of the first n terms and S(n) = n/2*[2a + (n-1)d]. Arithmetic series can never converge.
A geometric series is the sequence of partial sums of a geometric sequence. That is, if G = {a, ar, ar^2, ..., ar^(n-1), ... } then the terms of the geometric series, T(n), are the sums of the first n terms and T(n) = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r). If |r| < 1 then T(n) tends to 1/(1 - r) as n tends to infinity.
In an arithmetic series, each term is defined by a fixed value added to the previous term. This fixed value (common difference) may be positive or negative.In a geometric series, each term is defined as a fixed multiple of the previous term. This fixed value (common ratio) may be positive or negative.The common difference or common ratio can, technically, be zero but they result in pointless series.
A series is a sequence of numbers that follows an identifiable pattern. There are two basic forms of series: Arithmetic, where the difference between successive terms is the same number. 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 21 is an arithmetic series, each successive term is 3 larger than the previous term Geometric, were successive terms are achieved by multiplying each term by the same number 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 is a geometric series, each successive term is the result of multiplying the previous term by 2

The summation of a geometric series to infinity is equal to a/1-rwhere a is equal to the first term and r is equal to the common difference between the terms.
There is no simple answer. There are simple formulae for simple sequences such as arithmetic or geometric progressions; there are less simple solutions arising from Taylor or Maclaurin series. But for the majority of sequences there are no solutions.
Arithmetic, common difference 5.5

Arithmetic, you ADD the same number each time, eg. 2, 5, 8, 11 etc. Geometric, you MULTIPLY by the same number each time, eg. 2, 6, 18, 54 etc.
Yes, with a difference of zero between terms. It is also a geometric series, with a ratio of 1 in each case.
It is 58465.
The difference between each number in an arithmetic series
An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers which follow a rule. A series is the sum of a sequence of numbers.
In an arithmetic progression (AP), each term is obtained by adding a constant value to the previous term. In a geometric progression (GP), each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a constant value. An AP will have a common difference between consecutive terms, while a GP will have a common ratio between consecutive terms.

Succession of numbers of which one number is designated as the first, other as the second, another as the third and so on gives rise to what is called a sequence. Sequences have wide applications. In this lesson we shall discuss particular types of sequences called arithmetic sequence, geometric sequence and also find arithmetic mean (A.M), geometric mean (G.M) between two given numbers. We will also establish the relation between A.M and G.M
