8
42/2 = 21
21+ 3 = 24
24/3 = 8
8 + 4 =12
12/4 = 3
3 + 5 = 8
To identify the next number in the sequence 40, 42, 21, 24, 8, 12, 3, we can observe a pattern in the pairs: 40 to 42 (add 2) 42 to 21 (divide by 2) 21 to 24 (add 3) 24 to 8 (divide by 3) 8 to 12 (add 4) 12 to 3 (divide by 4) Following this pattern, the next operation should be to add 5 to 3, resulting in 8. Thus, the next number is 8.
8
If the last number is 1/3 (it should be), the next number is 5 and 1/3
24
291
8 and then 1.6
8
21
If the last number is 1/3 (it should be), the next number is 5 and 1/3
24
24
24, they are going up in 3's, 13, 16, 19 and 18, 21 so next number is 24.
24
20
291
The next is 3.
21-3=18 18/2=9 9*3=27 that is the pattern so after the 36 it should be 33
