Question

Correctly complete this sequence 88511,16351,?,10251

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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
