An arithmetic sequence is a type of sequence where each term is calculated by adding a constant value, called the common difference, to the preceding term. For example, in the sequence -12, -5, 2, 9, 16, ..., the common difference is 7 and a general formula can be written as 7n - 19 to generate all terms of the sequence.

In mathematics, sequence is an enumerated collection of objects in which
repetitions are allowed and order does matter. It can be finite or infinite. An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where every term after the first is obtained by adding a constant called the common difference. Thus common difference is then constant amount of change between numbers in an arithmetic sequence. For instance in the sequence -12, -5, 2, 9, 1,… the common difference is 7 and the general term is 7n-19.
