Re: Finding the next number that continues
With number sequences one of the methods is to look at the difference between each number
so with 6, 10, 18, 34, 66
10 - 6 = 4
18 - 10 = 8
34 - 18 = 16
66 - 34 = 32
so it follows that the next difference should again be doubled ie 32 x2 = 64
66 + 64 = 130 the next number in the sequence (hopefully)
so with 6, 10, 18, 34, 66
10 - 6 = 4
18 - 10 = 8
34 - 18 = 16
66 - 34 = 32
so it follows that the next difference should again be doubled ie 32 x2 = 64
66 + 64 = 130 the next number in the sequence (hopefully)

Damn thank you Rosered. I could work out that it follows 4, 8, 16 but couldnt see the pattern that it was multiplying by 2

Re: Finding the next number that continues
I doubled the number and subtracted 2. Same answer,different method. just hope its right........
