Question

What is the next number in this sequence: 2, 4, 8, 16, …?

Answer 1

The given sequence is a geometric progression with a common ratio of 2 . Each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 2. Therefore, the next number in the sequence is 32.

Answer 2

THE NEXT NUMBER IN THE SEQUENCE IS 32. EACH NUMBER IS OBTAINED BY MULTIPLYING THE PREVIOUS NUMBER BY 2.SO 16 MULTIPLIED BY 2 IS EQUALS TO 32  

Answer 3

Honestly, precisely and accurately the next number in this sequence is sixteen times two which is equals to (16 x 2= 32) thirty two.

Comments

The logic is to double the before number for next number and it will continue the series from starting.

Answer 4

It looks like each number is doubling the sequence. So the answer would be (16×2)=32 . The answer is 32.you multiple 2×2=4, 4×2=8,8×2=16,16×2=32.

Answer 5

The series given is the no next is just twice of first one 

Which is 

2×2= 4; 

4×2=8; 

8×2=16;

16×2=32

So answer is 32  because 16 multiplied by 2 is equal to 32

Answer 6

The sequence seems to be doubling with each step so following that pattern example we have letter 2 for the start so 2+2=4

               4+4=8

                8+8=16

So the next word should be

                16+16

                  =32

Answer 7

The given sequence is doubling with each term. Following this pattern:

2 (first term) * 2 = 4

4 (second term) * 2= 8

8 (third term) * 2 = 16

So the next number would be 

16(fourth term) * 2=32

Therefore the next number in the sequence is 32.

Answer 8

The next number in the sequence is 32. Each number obtained by multiplying previous number by 2: 2x2 =4, 4x2=8, 8x2=16, 16x2=32 

Answer 9

The given sequence is a geometric progression where each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor. In this case, each term is doubled. Therefore, the next number in the sequence would be obtained by doubling the last number given:

\[ 16 \times 2 = 32 \]

So, the next number in the sequence is \(32\).

Answer 10

This is actually a fairly easy to figure out sequence. The sequence was 2,4,8,16,....

To figure out the next number in this sequence, you must first establish a pattern that can be found through out the sequence.

The pattern found in this sequence is a multiple of two. 

2×2=4

4×2=8

8×2=16

And to continue the pattern and thus figure out the next number in the series we shall take the last number in the sequence and multiply it by two as well.

16×2=32

The answer we get is thirty-two so therefore the next number in this sequence would have to be thirty-two. You can continue doing this pattern indefinitely to figure out more subsequent answers.

To find the seventh number in this sequence, we would write it out until we got to number seven.

1) 2×2=4

2) 2×4=8

3)2×8=16

4) 2×16=32

5) 2×32=64

6) 2×64=128

7) 2×128= 256

The seventh number to this sequence would be two hundred and fifty-six. 

Some other sequences would be easier because the pattern would be based off of the position in the sequence and therefore we could write an equation to figure out any number in the sequence.

Let's take the following sequence as an example:

5,6,7,8,...

In this sequence, we are taking the original number and adding the number or the next position to figure, and then adding three. The equation for this would look like:

 X=(n+1)+3

Where X is the next number in the sequence, and the n stands for the position in the sequence we are solving for.

Solve for n=1

X=(1+1)+3

X=5

Solve for n=2

X=(2+1)+3

X=6

Solve for n=3

X=(3+1)+3

X=7

Solve for n=4

X=(4+1)+3

X=8

Therefore, to find the next number in the sequence we will solve for n=5

X=(5+1)+3

X=9

And this would work for any number in this sequence. For example, Solve if n=12 then what is the value of X.

X=(12+1)+3

X=16

The twelfth number in this sequence would be sixteen.

Answer 11

The next one in the series is 32. This is happening as multiples of 2. The number increases by multiples of 2.

First is 2. Then it is 2×2=4 , then 4×2= 8 , 8×2= 16 and finally 16×2=32.

Answer 12

The given succession is a mathematical movement with a typical proportion of 2 . Each term is gotten by duplicating the past term by 2. Thusly, the following number in the arrangement is 32.

Answer 13

In the given sequence, we can observe that:-

2×2 = 4

4×2 = 8

8×2 = 16

therefore

16×2 =32

The fun thing about this sequence that it always have same ratio between the two consecutive terms ( here common ratio is 2)

This kind of sequence is called geometric progression

Ans =32

Answer 14

32 is the next number as it can be clearly seen it is sequence of increasing power of 2 

2=2^1

4=2^2

8=2^3

and so on

It can also be seen as initial number being added to itself to get the next number in the sequence which is actually a different way of looking at the above power aproach

Answer 15

The sequence appears to be doubling with each successive term. Following this pattern, the next number in the sequence would be obtained by doubling the previous number. 

So, if we double 16, the next number in the sequence would be 32. Therefore, the next number in the sequence is 32.

Answer 16

The provided sequence follows a geometric progression with a common ratio of 2. Each term is derived by multiplying the previous one by 2. Hence, the subsequent number in the sequence is 32.

Answer 17

The following number in the succession seems to follow an example of multiplying each time:

2 * 2 = 4

4 * 2 = 8

8 * 2 = 16

Thus, following this example, the following number would be:

16 * 2 = 32

Consequently, the following number in the arrangement is 32.

Answer 18

The sequence appears to be doubling each time:

2 * 2 = 4  

4 * 2 = 8  

8 * 2 = 16  

So, the next number in the sequence would be 16 * 2 = 32.

Answer 19

1. This is a G.P series as it's common ratio is 2. So just multiply 16*2 which is 32.
2. Common ratio= n'th term /(n-1)th term .
3. So 4/2=2 ,, or 8/4=2.
