Number patterns

Skip counting is counting by a number other than one, such as counting by twos, fives, or tens.

The next number is 250, as this sequence is skip counting by 10.

The missing number is 287.

The next number is 695, as this sequence increases by 100.

The next number is 493, as this sequence increases by 10.

The pattern is increasing by 2.

The next three numbers are 29, 31, 33.

To identify a number pattern, look for a consistent rule or operation applied to the numbers in the sequence.

An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference between consecutive terms, while a geometric sequence has a constant ratio.

The nth term can be found using the formula: a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d, where a_1 is the first term and d is the common difference.
