Question

Give the next two numbers in the pattern. 4, 8, 12, 16,...

Answer 1

A. 18, 20
B. 20, 24
C. 32, 64

Answer 2

a good trick to see a pattern is to subtract or divide by the first number to see if it simplifies

Answer 3

Add on 4
4+4=8
8+4=12
12+4=16
16+4=20
20+4=24

Answer 4

if we subtract 4 from the given set:

{4, 8, 12, 16} - 4 = {0, 4, 8, 12} which suggests its adding 4 each time

------------------------------
if we divide 4 from the given set:

{4, 8, 12, 16} /4 = {1, 2, 3, 4} gives a good idea that these are the 4 times tables
