Why so?

If we carefully look at the series then we find that the numbers are

$8...4...2.. \frac{1}{2} .... \frac{1}{4}$

here we need to find the relation between two successive terms,

the relation between 4 and 8 is 4=8÷2

similar relation exists between all the successive terms.

We can conclude the next term will be

$》 \frac{1}{4} \div 2 \\ = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} \\ = \frac{1}{8}$
