It would be 5, then 8/5. The pattern is +2, /2, +3, /3, +4, /4, +5, /5, and so on.

What is the next number in the series 40 42 21 24 8 12 3 is it 6 8 -8 9 or 24?

The next number is eight. If you look at the differences between the numbers, you can see that two different operations are being done. The first operation is to add a certain amount, and the next operation is to divide by that same amount. The amount used is then incremented by one, and the process repeated. 40 + 2 = 42 42 / 2 = 21 21 + 3 = 24 24 / 3 = 8 8 + 4 = 12 12 / 4 = 3 and so on. The sequence then, continues as follows: 40, 42, 21, 24, 8, 12, 3, 8, 8/5, 38/5, 38/11, 115/11, 115/77, ...

What expression can be used to find the next term in this pattern 0 4 12 24 40?

There is no possible way to determine this. To get from 0 to 4 is +4. Multiplied by 3 to get 12. Multiplied by 2 to get 24. From 24 to 40 is 1.66666666667. Which is a repeating number, no pattern is followed, therefore making it illogical
