previous * 2
Since each term after the first is the product of the preceding term and 2 (a constant which can be found by dividing any term by its predecessor and is called the common ratio, r), this is a geometric sequence.
In general, if the nth term of a geometric sequence is represented by an, then
an = a1rn-1
In our case, a = 3 and r = 2, so the formula for the sequence becomes,
an = 3 x 2n-1
If 3 is the first term, then the nth term is [ 3 x 2(n-1) ] .
To determine the pattern in the sequence 18147070, we can look at the differences between consecutive numbers. The differences are 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 192. We can see that each difference is doubling, following a pattern of multiplying by 2. Therefore, the next number in the sequence would be 18147070 + 192 * 2 = 18147070 + 384 = 18147454.
These numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 192, 384 in the following combinations equal 384: 1 x 384, 2 x 192, 3 x 128, 4 x 96, 6 x 64, 8 x 48, 12 x 32, 16 x 24, 24 x 16, 32 x 12, 48 x 8, 64 x 6, 96 x 4, 128 x 3, 192 x 2, 384 x 1
If 3 is the first term, then the nth term is [ 3 x 2(n-1) ] .
The factor is 4. 12288/192 = 64 ie 4 cubed, so it is the next term but two, ie the seventh. (192, 768, 3072, 12288)
If 3 is the first term, then the nth term is [ 3 x 2(n-1) ] .
