6 x2 12 x4 48 x2 96 x4 384
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
12

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.
Digits in each number are increasing. 456, 6789, and 12 would also fit in this pattern
This missing number is 5
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.
