The complete sequence is 2, 8, 5, 6, 8, 13, 112.
To identify the missing number in the sequence, let's analyze the pattern:
2, 8, 5, 6, 8, __, 112
If we look at the differences between consecutive numbers, we can observe the following pattern:
8 - 2 = 6
5 - 8 = -3
6 - 5 = 1
8 - 6 = 2
It seems like the differences are alternating between adding 3 and subtracting 3. Applying this pattern to the last difference (2), we get:
2 + 3 = 5
So, the missing number in the sequence is 8 + 5 = 13.
Therefore, the complete sequence is:
2, 8, 5, 6, 8, 13, 112.
Question
What is the missing one in this sequence, 2, 8, 5, 6,8,__, 112?
