    Number Patterns

    Number patterns are sequences that follow a consistent rule. There are two main types of number patterns: arithmetic sequences, where the difference between consecutive terms is constant, and geometric sequences, where each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a fixed ratio. Examples of arithmetic sequences provided include ones where the difference is consistently 3 or 2. Geometric sequences were defined as those where each term is the previous term multiplied by a common ratio such as 2. Formulas for calculating terms in these sequences are also presented.

    Number patterns

    Patterns are lists of numbers or objects arranged based on a rule or design. This pattern
    generally establishes a common relationship between all numbers.

    How do Number Patterns Work?

    A Number Pattern refers to a sequence of numbers that follow a certain order in mathematics.
    Patterns typically describe the inverse relationship between numbers. The sequences of
    numbers can also be called patterns. It is first necessary to understand the rule being followed
    by the pattern in order to solve the problems involving the Number Pattern.

    Types of Number Patterns

    There are two common number sequence patterns:

    1. Arithmetic Sequences

    2. Geometric Sequences

    Arithmetic Sequence

    An arithmetic progression or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the


    difference between the consecutive terms is constant. For instance, the sequence 5, 7, 9,
    11, 13, 15.. . is an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 2

    Here are some examples of arithmetic numbers: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, ...... is an arithmetic
    sequence because the difference between consecutive terms is 3. Besides that, 1, 4, 8, 11, 15,
    18, ...... is not an arithmetic sequence because the difference between consecutive terms is not
    a constant.

    Formula

    = the nᵗʰ term in the sequence

    = the first term in the sequence

    = the common difference between terms


    Geometric Sequences

    The geometric progression is a relation between two non-zero numbers in which, after the first
    term, each succeeding term is found by multiplying the previous term with a fixed, non-zero
    number.

    Here are some examples: 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, ...... is a Geometric sequence because the step is
    multiplied by 2 which is the common ratio. Besides that, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, ...... does not form
    a geometric sequence since the ratio between each step is different.

    Formula

    = start term

    = common ratio
