To find the next number in the sequence 710162852, we first look for a pattern in the numbers provided. Breaking it down, we notice that:
- The first number is 7,
- The second number is 10,
- The third number is 16,
- The fourth number is 28,
- The fifth number is 52.
If we analyze the differences between the consecutive numbers:
- 10 – 7 = 3
- 16 – 10 = 6
- 28 – 16 = 12
- 52 – 28 = 24
The differences are 3, 6, 12, and 24. We can observe that each difference is doubling:
- 3 x 2 = 6
- 6 x 2 = 12
- 12 x 2 = 24
Following this pattern, the next difference should be:
- 24 x 2 = 48
Now, we add this difference to the last number in the sequence:
- 52 + 48 = 100
Therefore, the next number in the sequence 710162852 is 100.
