Question

Predict the next three numbers in the pattern.4, 10, 14, 24, 38, 62,

Answer 1

Let the next 3 terms be x, y and z.

The given sequence would be

4, 10, 14, 24, 38, 62, x, y, z

let us examine the pattern below

14 - 4 = 10

24 - 10 = 14

38 - 14 = 24

62 - 24 = 38

Thus,

x - 38 = 62

x = 62 + 38

x = 100

then,

y - 62 = 100

y = 100 + 62

y = 162

Finally,

z - 100 = 162

z = 162 + 100

z = 262

Thus, the next three numbers are 100, 162 and 262
