21, 34, 55

This is a very famous sequence in mathematics called the Fibonacci sequence and each value is determined by adding up the 2 previous values in the sequence.

anonymous · Answer

For your next number being $$a_{b}$$
$$a_{b}=a_{b-1}+a_{b-2}$$

anonymous · Answer

The sequence is usually shown as 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,...

The first 2 are "1" to get the sequence going.  And then just add the 2 previous each time.
