  • 1/8,2/7,1/2,4/5

Recreate

  • 1/8,2/7,3/6,4/5

We can see

The denominator is decreasing by 1 and numerator is increasing by 1

So next term

  • (4+1)/5-1
  • 5/4

Next term

  • (5+1)/4-1
  • 6/3
  • 2

We observe the numerators: 1, 2, 3, 4 and denominators: 8, 7, 6, 5

The next two terms are:

  • 5/4 and 6/3

or

  • 5/4 and 2
