Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

73155 will be the 3rd number in the sequence: 88511, 16351, ?, 10251.

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

Step-by-step explanation:

As 88511 is the first number.

The number 88511 has a certain pattern that could help us finding the next number.

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 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 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 observation, we determine that 73155 will be the 3rd number in the sequence: 88511,16351,?,10251.

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