Complete sequence is: 88511, 16351, 73155, 10251
Solution:
Given sequence is:
88511, 16351, ?, 10251
We can use the basic mathematical operations (+, -, x, /) to find the missing number.
Let us analyse the logic used in this sequence
Take the first term of sequence 88511
8 + 8 = 16
8 - 5 = 3
5 x 1 = 5
1 / 1 = 1
Combining the digits we get, 16351 which is the second term in sequence
So the pattern followed is:
Add the first 2 digits in the number 8851
Subtract the 3rd digit from the 2nd digit
Multiplying the 3rd digit and 4th digit
Dividing the 4th digit by the 5th digit
So we can follow the pattern and find the missing term
Take the second term 16351 of sequence
1 + 6 = 7
6 - 3 = 3
3 x 5 = 15
5 / 1 = 5
Combining the digits, we get 73155 which is the next term in sequence
Thus the missing term in sequence is 73155
The complete sequence is: 88511, 16351, 73155, 10251
