2 x 4 -1 =7
7 x 4 - 2 = 26
26 x 4 - 3 = 101
101 x 4 - 4 = 400
400 x 4 - 5 = 1600 - 5 = 1595
So, the next number is 1595
pattern "2, 7, 26, 101, 400" next
The next number is 1595. The series is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 4 and then subtracting (n - 1). 1st number = 2 - ( 1 - 1) = 2 2nd number = (4 x 2) - (2 - 1) = 7 3rd number = (4 x 7) - (3 - 1) = 26 4th number = (4 x 26) - (4 - 1) = 101 5th number = (4 x 101) - (5 - 1) = 400 6th number = (4 x 400) - (6 - 1) = 1595
The next number could be 26 The next number could be 12 - - - - - - - - - The next number that is in the sequence is 12.

The pattern in the sequence 2, 7, 26, 101, 400 involves multiplying the previous term by a specific factor and then adding an increasing integer. Specifically, each term can be expressed as follows: ( a_n = a_{n-1} \times 4 + 3 ) for ( n \geq 2 ). Thus, the relationships are: 2 × 4 + 3 = 7, 7 × 4 + 3 = 26, 26 × 4 + 3 = 101, and 101 × 4 + 3 = 400.

To find out how many times 26 goes into 400, you can divide 400 by 26. Doing the calculation, 400 ÷ 26 equals approximately 15.38. This means 26 goes into 400 a total of 15 times, with some remainder.
i this next word will be 26. because 16+10=26 26-5=21 21+10=31 31-5=26
assuming it keeps the same pattern of +10 -5 alternating then the next number would be 26
