Question

Find the next number 7.14.28.56, ?*

Answer 1

Answer: 112

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence we have is:

`7,14,28,56`

We can see that the numbers are all multiples of 7:

`\begin{gathered} 7*1=7 \\ 7*2=14 \\ 7*4=28 \\ 7*8=56 \end{gathered}`

In each step, the number we multiply 7 by, doubles.

So the next number must be 7 multiplied by double of 8 which is 16:

`7*16=112`

Another way to see this sequence is that each number is twice the previous number:

14 is twice 7

28 is twice 14

56 is twice 28

So the next number must be twice 56:

`56*2=112`

In any case, the next number is 112
