Number Pattern

Number pattern is a list of numbers that follow a certain sequence or pattern.

Arithmetic Sequance
Sequences of numbers that follow a pattern of adding a fixed number from one term
to the next are called arithmetic sequences. The value added each time is called the
"common difference".
Examples:
1 ,4 ,7 ,10 ,13 ,16 ,19 ,22 ,25 ,28 ,31 ,34 ,37 ,40 ,43 ,46 ,49 ,52 ,55 ,58 ,61 ,64 ,67 ,
70 ,73 ,76 ,79 ,82 ,85 ,88 ,91 ,94 ,97 ,100
1+3=4 ,4+3=7 ,
This sequence has a difference of 3 between each number.
The pattern is continued by adding 3 to the last number each time.

1 ,6 ,11 ,16 ,21 ,26 ,31 ,36 ,41 ,46 ,51 ,56 ,61 ,66 ,71 ,76 ,81 ,86 ,91 ,96
1+5=6 ,6+5=11 ,
This sequence has a difference of 5 between each number.
The pattern is continued by adding 5 to the last number each time.

The following sequences is start from number 1 and continued by adding 3 to the
last number each time.(form number pattern from the number 1 until 100 chart):

Geometric Sequences
Sequences of numbers that follow a pattern of multiplying a fixed number from one
term to the next are called geometric sequences:

2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , 32 , 64

12=2 ,22=4 ,

This sequence has a factor of 2 between each number.


The pattern is continued by multiplying the last number by 2 each time.

3 , 9 , 27 , 81

13=3 ,23=6,

This sequence has a difference of 5 between each number.


The pattern is continued by adding 5 to the last number each time.

The following sequences has a difference of 5 between each number. (form number
