Question

Complete the pattern 1,2,4,8,16

Answer 1

Hello there!

1 --> 2 is 1 x 2
2 --> 4 is 2 x 2
4 --> 8 is 4 x 2
8 --> 16 is 8 x 2

The rule here is to multiply the current number by 2.

We are left at 16 as our current number, so let's multiply it by 2 to find the next number.

16 x 2 = 32

The next number in the pattern is 32.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 etc. It doubles every time.
