Well, by definition a "random number sequence" is random; i.e. you cannot find out the next term.

However if you're just trying to find the formula for a "number sequence" (not random):

1) look at what you have to do to get from one number in the sequence to the next - example the initial difference between the numbers may give a sequence such as "+4, +6, +8, +10", this then gives a sequence of "+2, +2, +2 etc." - this does help to to find out the formula for the sequence.

2) write down the "term numbers" (call this "t") above or below the sequance, (i.e. 1st term, 2nd term etc.) and see what you have to do to get from the term number to the sequence number. i.e "3t-1", "t squared minus 3" etc.
