It depends on what number you would like. Given any real number, it is possible to find a real polynomial of degree 5 that will go through these 5 and the nominated 6th number.
Fitting a polynomial of degree 4 to these numbers, the fitted next number is 44.
Un = (-5n4 + 58n3 - 232n2 + 371n - 186)/6 for n = 1, 2, 3, ...
------------------------
All the above is true but just in case the simple answer is the real answer, I'd bet on 4 (then -2, 5,-3)

The next whole number after 1 is 2. However, the decimal after 1 can be an infinite chain of 0's, with a 1 at the end.
In the traditional counting system, the number that comes before 1 is 0. In mathematics, numbers are typically ordered in a sequence, with each number having a specific position. In this sequence, 0 is considered the number that precedes 1.
This series is of the function f(x) = x2+1, starting with x=0.The next number in the series is 26. The number after that is 37.
The next number is 4, followed by -2
