Well, geometric sequences are sequences where the term is multiplied by a common factor to get the next term.

Arithmetic sequences are sequences in which something has to be added to the term to get the next one.

Which situation do you have?

anonymous · Answer

Because it is being divided instead of added/subtracted, the sequence is geometric. (:
