Number Patterns

and Sequences

Whenever solving questions


regarding the number
patterns and sequences, it
is advised to consider two
things.
Number patterns and
sequences

First check whether the


numbers have a common
difference (i.e. 2, 5, 8….The
common difference in this
case is 3).

sequences

Second check whether the


numbers are in a common
ratio (i.e. 2, 4, 6, 8,
16…..The common ratio in
this case is 2).
Number patterns and
sequences

If the numbers in the


sequence have a common
difference we can use the
following formula:

𝑇𝑛 = 𝑎 + (𝑛 − 1)𝑑
Number patterns and
sequences

Where:
𝑇𝑛= the term we are
finding.
a= first term.
n= number of term.
d= common difference.

If the numbers in the


sequence have a common
ratio we can use the
following formula:

𝑇𝑛 = 𝑎𝑟𝑛−1

a= first term.
n= number of term.
r= common ratio.
