The pattern alternates between multiplying by 3 and dividing by 2. Starting with 4, you multiply by 3 to get 12, then divide by 2 to get 6. Continuing this pattern, you multiply 6 by 3 to get 18, then divide by 2 to get 9. Therefore, the next number in the pattern should be 9.

Well, well, well, looks like we've got a little pattern puzzle on our hands. Let's break it down for you - each number is either multiplied or divided by 3 to get the next number. So, following that logic, the next number should be 54. But hey, who am I to tell you what to do?
This sequence appears to be a repeated pattern of: multiply by 3, divide by 2, multiply by 2
4 * 3 = 12
12 / 2 = 6
6 * 2 = 12
Now repeat the pattern...
12 * 3 = 36
36 / 2 = 18
18 * 2 = 26
Now repeat the pattern to get new terms
36 * 3 = 108
108 / 2 = 54
54 * 3 = 162
The next number in the series 4, 12, 6, 12, 36, 18, 36
The next two numbers are 26 & 78.
The next number in the series 4-12-6-12-36-18-36.. is 108.
