The first step is to find the sequence rule. The sequence could be arithmetic. quadratic, geometric, recursively defined or any one of many special sequences. The sequence rule will give you the value of the nth term in terms of its position, n. Then simply substitute the next value of n in the rule.

You first need to take a good look at the sequence, and figure out the RULE used to calculate each number. There is really no systematic way to do this; some ingenuity may be required.
