Question

Correctly complete this sequence: 88511, 16351, ?, 10251

Answer 1

Answer:

73155 is the required 3rd number that will complete the sequence as: 88511, 16351, 73155 , 10251.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, let us consider 88511 and determine the pattern to find the next number and so on to complete the sequence.

Adding the first 2 digits in the number 88511 i.e.  8 + 8 = 16

Subtracting the 3rd digit from the 2nd digit i.e. 8 - 5 = 3

Multiplying the 3rd digit and 4th digit i.e. 5 × 1 = 5

Dividing the 4th digit by the 5th digit i.e. 1 ÷ 1 = 1

Hence, using these steps would get us the number 16351.

So, the next number would be obtained using same steps:

Adding the first 2 digits in the number 16351 i.e.  1 + 6 = 7

Subtracting the 3rd digit from the 2nd digit i.e. 6 - 3 = 3

Multiplying the 3rd digit and 4th digit i.e. 3 × 5 = 15

Dividing the 4th digit by the 5th digit i.e. 5 ÷ 1 = 5

Hence, using these steps would get us the number 73155.

So, the next number would be obtained using same steps:

Adding the first 2 digits in the number 73155 i.e.  7 + 3 = 10

Subtracting the 3rd digit from the 2nd digit i.e. 3 - 1 = 2

Multiplying the 3rd digit and 4th digit i.e. 1 × 5 = 5

Dividing the 4th digit by the 5th digit i.e. 5 ÷ 5 = 1

Hence, using these steps would get us the final number 10251.

So, from this pattern method, we determine that 73155 will be the 3rd number in the sequence: 88511,16351,?,10251.

So, the complete sequence would be: 88511, 16351, 73155, 10251.
