The common difference is the difference between two numbers in an arithmetic sequence.
arithmetic sequence
This is an arithmetic sequence with initial term a = 3 and common difference d = 2. Using the nth term formula for arithmetic sequences an = a + (n - 1)d we get an = 3 + (n - 1)(2) = 2n - 2 + 3 = 2n + 1.
When quantities in a given sequence increase or decrease by a common difference,it is called to be in arithmetic progression.
