That is a very good question. The awnser is quite simple, its a number.
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32.
Divide the number 32 by successive prime numbers to get the factors until you cant divide any more numbers... 32/1=32 (factors are 1 and 32) 32/2=16 (factors are 2 and 16) 32/3=does not divide to be a whole number 32/4=8 (factors are 4 and 8) 32/5=does not divide to be a whole number 32/6=does not divide to be a whole number 32/7=does not divide to be a whole number Now you done with all the numbers you can. Therefore 1,32,2,16,4 and 8 are factors.
The positive factors of 32 are: 1 2 4 8 16 32.
16 doesn't have a GCF. You need at least two numbers to find one of those. If you're asking what three numbers equal 16, there are an infinite number of possibilities. If you're asking what three numbers have a GCF of 16, 16, 32 and 48 is one answer.
32
32
-64
You are multiplying each number in the sequence by -2. Therefore, the next number in the sequence after 32 is -64.
5
512 squared
1. Each number is 1/2 of previous number.
The differences between the numbers is decreasing by 8 each time. Therefore, since the difference between 48 and 32 is 16, the difference between the next two numbers will be 16 - 8 = 8. Therefore, the next number in the sequence is equal to 32 - 8 = 24.
If you mean: 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 then the next number is 32
1/2 then 1/4 1/8 1/16 1/32
(4x2)=8,(8x2)=16,(16x2)=32
256 is the next number, 3+5=8. 3+5+8=16. 3+5+8+16=32. and so on.
