If the numbers do not follow an addition or multiplication pattern, check if you can use a rule that involves two or more basic arithmetic functions ( +, -, x, / ). For example, in the series 2, 4, 8, 6, 3,… the rule is: add 2 to the first number to get the second number, then multiply the second number by 2 to get the third number, subtract 2 from the third number to get the fourth number and divide the fourth number by 2 to get the fifth number.
Even if the difference between the numbers is dynamic rather than constant, there is still a clear logical rule. In such a case, see if the difference of numbers is in Arithmetic Progression – first difference is 1, second difference is 2 and so on.
