What is the next number in this sequence 1 2 4 14 21?

Answer 1

What number would be next in the sequence?

.5,   1,   2,   4,   ....

Answer 2

This sequence does not follow a clear mathematical pattern, making it difficult to determine the next number with certainty. However, one possible interpretation could be that each number is the result of a specific mathematical operation on the previous numbers. For example, if we consider the sequence as the sum of the previous two numbers multiplied by the position of the number in the sequence (e.g., (1+2)*2 = 6, (2+4)*3 = 18), then the next number could be (4+14)*4 = 72.

Answer 3

1 2 4 21... lets look at the difference between each number and the one that comes next 1,2,10,7 NO pattern, same thing if you look for common ratio. So need to think outside the box. The next number is 22. Here are many more in the sequence. 22, 24, 31, 32, 34, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 51, 52, 54, 61, 62, 64, 71, 72, 74, 81, 82, 84, 91, 92, 94, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123 This is the sequence of numbers that contain the letter "o"
