Correctly complete this sequence 88511,16351,?,10251
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 88511,16351,?,10251
- So we need to find the missing number in the series.
- So 88511 = 8 + 8 = 16 , 8 – 5 = 3 5 x 1 = 5 1/1 = 1 we get the next number 16351
- 16351 = 1 + 6 = 7, 6 – 3 = 3, 3 x 5 = 15, 5/1 = 5 we get the next number 73155
- 73155 = 7 + 3 = 10, 3 – 1 = 2, 1 x 5 = 5, 5/5 = 1 we get the next number 10251
The missing number will be 10251
The 3rd number in the sequence, 88511,16351,?,10251, is 73155
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is solved with the help of the mathematical operators like +, -, x and ÷.
The first number in the series is 88511, which provides clues to find the second number i.e., 16351
Thus;
Step 1; Add the first 2 digits in the number
Step 2: Subtract digit 3 from Digit 2
Step 3: Multiply Digit 3 and 4
Step 4: Divide Digit 4 by 3
Hence;
8 + 8 = 16
8 – 5 = 3
5 * 1 = 5
1 ÷ 1 = 1
Thus, the number is 16351
The next number is:
1 + 6 = 7
6 – 3 = 3
3 * 5 = 15
5 / 1 = 5
Thus; the number is 73155
Verify this technique to obtain the final number, i.e., 10251
Thus;
7 + 3 = 10
3 – 1 = 2
1 * 5 = 5
5 / 5 = 1
The final number is 10251
