Explanation:

This numerical sequence corresponds to a geometric progression, which occurs when there is a multiplication of the sequence numbers for a common reason whose result will always be the successor number of the numerical sequence.

Like for example:

  • 3,6,12,24,48

The common reason for the geometric progression is the number 2, so the first term of the sequence multiplied by 2 will be equal to the second term of the sequence and so on:

3x2 = 6

6x2 = 12

12x2 = 24

24x2 = 48

It is necessary to emphasize that the ratio of a geometric progression will always be constant and will always be a number other than zero.
