Answers
117 is the missing number in the series
18, 27, 45, 63, 99 , 117
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
18, 27, 45, 63, 99?
To find:
The missing number in the series.
Solution:
- This series is a numerical sequence in which the numbers are arranged in an orderly manner makes a sequence.
- The pattern is (x₁,x₂,x₃,x₄,x₅,x₆) are the numbers in the series thus (9×2)⇒x₁, (9×3)⇒x₂, (9×5)⇒x₃, (9×7)⇒x₄, (9×11)⇒x₅, (9×13)⇒x₆.
The first number 18 is obtained by multiplying by 9 and with prime number 2 consequently. Thus we get multiplies of 9, so we get the first number.
⇒x₁⇒18
⇒(9×2)
⇒18
The second number 27 is obtained by multiplying by 9 and with prime number 3 consequently. Thus we get multiplies of 9, so we get the second number.
18⇒27
⇒(9×3)
⇒27
The third number 45 is obtained by multiplying by 9 and with prime number 5 consequently. Thus we get multiplies of 9, so we get the third number.
27⇒45
⇒(9×5)
⇒45
The fourth number 63 is obtained by multiplying by 9 and with prime number 7 consequently. Thus we get multiplies of 9, so we get the fourth number.
45⇒63
⇒(9×7)
⇒63
The fifth number 99 is obtained by multiplying by 9 and with prime number 11 consequently. Thus we get multiplies of 9, so we get the fifth number.
63⇒99
⇒(9×11)
⇒99
The sixth number 99 is obtained by multiplying by 9 and with prime number 13 consequently. Thus we get multiplies of 9, so we get the sixth number.
The next number in the series is (9×13)
⇒117
Hence,
The next number in the series is 117.
