If I start with 2 and count by 8s until I reach 82, I will get: 2, 10, 18, 26, 82, ... , where 2 is the first number, 10 is the second number and so fourth. If 82 is the Nth number, what is the value of N?

Answer:

11 is N

Explanation:

Since we know the first answer is 2, we can subtract 82 by 2. Afterwards we can divide by 8 since we are counting by 8s, this gets me 10. 10 + the first number is 11
