Math Problem Statement

24, 34, ....., ....., 64, 128, 113, 124, 248

Solution

To find the missing numbers in the sequence 24,34,,,64,128,113,124,24824, 34, \dots, \dots, 64, 128, 113, 124, 248, we need to identify the pattern.

Let's analyze the differences between consecutive terms:

  1. 3424=1034 - 24 = 10
  2. 6434=3064 - 34 = 30
  3. 12864=64128 - 64 = 64
  4. 113128=15113 - 128 = -15
  5. 124113=11124 - 113 = 11
  6. 248124=124248 - 124 = 124

It seems the pattern in differences between consecutive numbers is not consistent, so let's break the sequence into parts and see if each section follows a different pattern.

First Section:

  • 24,3424, 34 (difference of 1010)
  • We need to guess the next two numbers.

Second Section:

  • 64,12864, 128 (doubling)
  • 128,113128, 113 (subtracting 1515)

Third Section:

  • 113,124113, 124 (adding 1111)
  • 124,248124, 248 (doubling)

Possible Patterns:

  1. First Section:
    • Given 2424 and 3434, the difference is 1010.
    • If we assume an arithmetic progression with a difference of 1010, the next terms would be 34+10=4434 + 10 = 44 and 44+10=5444 + 10 = 54.

So, the full sequence would be: 24,34,44,54,64,128,113,124,24824, 34, 44, 54, 64, 128, 113, 124, 248

Does this make sense to you, or would you like to explore a different pattern?
