Answer:

the first 6 numbers are 2916, 972, 324, 108, 36, 12. The "next three numbers" here are 108, 36, 12.

Explanation:

Notice that 2916(1/3) = 972; also, 972(1/3) = 324.

In each case we obtain the "new" number by dividing the previous one by 3.

Focusing on 324, we divide this by 3 to obtain the next number: 108.

Divide this by 3 to obtain 36.

Divide this by 3 to obtain 12.

So, the first 6 numbers are 2916, 972, 324, 108, 36, 12.
