series.
40,123,496,2485​

Answer 1

Answer:

This is increasing, and I looked at the relationship between the first and second numbers. You multiply the first by 3 and add 3. That may help. It also increases 83, but that turns out not to help. From 123 to 496 is multiply by 4 (492) and add 4. OK, then the next one should be multiply by 5 and add 5. It is. The next number is multiply by 6 and add 6, which is 14,916.
