\large \mathfrak{Solution : }

Common difference of an Arithmetic progression can be found out by subtracting the preceding term from that given term.

i.e


  • common \: \: difference = 4 - 8

  • common \: \: difference = - 4

therefore, the common difference of the above Arithmetic progression is -4 .
