Just divide any number in the sequence by the next number in the sequence. To be on the safe side, you may want to check in more than one place - if you get the same result in each case, then it is, indeed, a geometric sequence.

A geometric sequence is defined by the next term being the common ration times the current term.

To find the common ratio in a geometric sequence divide any number by the previous number:

125 ÷ 625 = 1/5 = 0.2

25 ÷ 125 = 1/5 = 0.2

5 ÷ 25 = 1/5 = 0.2

1 ÷ 5 = 1/5 = 0.2

If this division does not give the same value each time, then the sequence is not a geometric sequence or you've made a mistake).

For the geometric sequence 625, 125, 25, 5, 1 the common ratio is 0.2

What is the ratio of similar solids when the areas are 125 and 216?

The ratio is sqrt(125/216) = sqrt(0.578704) = 0.7607 (to 4 dp) The question is more likely to have been about volumes being 125 and 216. In that case, the ratio of the solids' dimensions would have been the cuberoot of (125/216) which is 5/6.
