the rule is plus 4 divided by 3 plus 4 divided by two
==========================================
Answer #2:
The missing number is 8. It belongs between 24 and 12 .
The rule is: Add 4, divide by 3, rinse and repeat.

6 x2 12 x4 48 x2 96 x4 384
To find the missing number in the sequence 16, 4, 12, 36, 9, 27, 44, 11, we can look for a pattern. The first set of numbers appears to alternate between two sequences: the first sequence (16, 12, 9, 44) and the second sequence (4, 36, 27, 11). Following this pattern, the missing number, which follows the last number in the second sequence (11), should be 33. Thus, the missing number is 33.
The rule of this pattern is -2 + 6 +4 so the next number would be 16.
Digits in each number are increasing. 456, 6789, and 12 would also fit in this pattern

6 x2 12 x4 48 x2 96 x4 384
The pattern rule is: 4 5 6 7 8 and so the next number will be 33+9 = 42
The rule of this pattern is -2 + 6 +4 so the next number would be 16.
This missing number is 5
Digits in each number are increasing. 456, 6789, and 12 would also fit in this pattern
12
71 because the pattern is 100-15=85-14=71-13=58-12=46
The answer depends on where, within the sequence, the missing number should have been.
Any number can be the missing number.If you want:1: then try the rule: U(n) = (35*n^3 - 245*n^2 + 466*n - 136)/22: then try the rule U(n) = 17n^3 - 119*n^2 + 226*n - 643: then try the rule: U(n) = (33*n^3 - 231*n^2 + 438*n - 120)/24: then try the rule U(n) = 16n^3 - 112*n^2 + 212*n - 56and so on.Having said that, the simplest linear rule is U(n) = 72 - 12n, which gives 36 as the missing number.
30
The rule for the sequence 6, 18, 24, 30 is that each number is obtained by adding 12 to the previous number. This is because 6 + 12 = 18, 18 + 6 = 24, and 24 + 6 = 30. Therefore, the pattern is increasing by 12 each time.
