What number logically follows the series? The answer will be the number that is one higher than the previous number. Let’s say, for example, that the series begins with 9, then goes to 14, then to 19, then to 24. If this pattern continues, what number logically follows the series? If we were to add 5 to 1, we’d get 14. But in this particular pattern, it would be wrong to add five to 1.

9, 6, 14, 6, 19, 6, 24
A series of numbers with the same difference will be a logical group of nine, six, fourteen, and twenty-four. The series will contain the number 6 at every position, but the number 7 will only appear in odd positions. In fact, the series will contain nine, six, and fourteen, but the difference is five. Then, the series will include twenty-four, nine, and fourteen.
If the first term is nine, the second term is fourteen, and so on. If nine, six, fourteen, and six are the first two numbers, the series must follow the same pattern. The next term, however, should be eight, because sixteen is an even number. If it were ten, the second term would be twelve. The sixth term would then be fourteen, and the seventh would be twenty-four. Similarly, nine plus fourteen should produce eight, and the first term would contain thirteen.
240 x 6 = 1440
Logically, 240 x 6 = 1440 if the answer is x in the series. This is an example of the question asked by the next question: “What number is the same as four plus three plus two?” The answer is x. The series also has another question: “What number is one less than four?”
When multiplication is done, the multiplier increases by one. For example, 240 x 6 = 1440 is logically followed by the following number: 240 x 6. The multiplier increases by one with each successive term. So, the next number in the series is 1440. The multiplier increases by one with every successive term. This rule is called “ascending multiplier.”
Adding 5 + 1 is the wrong number in this particular series
In math, if you add two numbers, the first is the square of the second, and so on. But if you add five to either number, the answer is the wrong one. For example, if we add five to the first number, then we’d get twenty-six. But, if we add five to the last number, we get twenty-four. Therefore, adding five to the last number is wrong, since the final number should be twenty-four, and a square of two is two.
