BASIC MATHEMATICS NUMBER PATTERN

NUMBER PATTERN

A list of numbers that follow a certain sequence or pattern. Example: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, starts at 1 and jumps 3 every time. Example: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, doubles each time

ODD NUMBER & EVEN NUMBER


2, 4, 6, 8, 10, Even numbers are numbers that can be divided by 2 exactly.

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, Odd numbers are numbers that cannot be divided by 2 exactly.


0

is neither odd nor even.

MULTIPLES

The product of that number and another non zero whole number
Multiples of 2 2, 4, 8, 10, 12, Multiples of 5 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30,

PRIME NUMBERS

A whole number that can only be divided by itself and 1 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17,

The first prime number is 2.

ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE
An Arithmetic Sequence is made by adding some value each time. Examples: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, ... This sequence has a difference of 3 between each number. The pattern is continued by adding 3 to the last number each time.

3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28, 33, 38, ... This sequence has a difference of 5 between each number. The pattern is continued by adding 5 to the last number each time. The value added each time is called the "common difference"

GEOMETRIC SEQUENCE
A Geometric Sequence is made by multiplying by some value each time. Examples: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, ... This sequence has a factor of 2 between each number. The pattern is continued by multiplying the last number by 2 each time.

3, 9, 27, 81, 243, 729, 2187, ... This sequence has a factor of 3 between each number. The pattern is continued by multiplying the last number by 3 each time.

SPECIAL SEQUENCES

Triangle numbers Square numbers

Cube numbers
Fibonacci sequences

TRIANGULAR NUMBERS

1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, ... This sequence is generated from a pattern of dots which form a triangle. By adding another row of dots and counting all the dots we can find the next number of the sequence.

SQUARE NUMBERS
1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, ...
The

next number is made by squaring where it is in the pattern. The second number is 2 squared (2 or 22) The seventh number is 7 squared (7 or 77) etc.

CUBE NUMBERS
1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729, ...
The

next number is made by cubing where it is in the pattern. The second number is 2 cubed (2 or 222) The seventh number is 7 cubed (7 or 777) etc.

FIBONACCI SEQUENCE
The Fibonacci Sequence is the series of numbers:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...

The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it.
The 2 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+1) Similarly, the 3 is just (1+2), and the 5 is just (2+3), and so on!

Example: the next number in the sequence above would be (21+34) = 55

NARCISSISTIC PATTERN
Constant Base Number

4624 = 44+46+42+44 1033 = 81+80+83+83

Note that the powers match the digits of the number.

Ascending & Descending Powers 1676 = 11 + 62 + 73 + 64 1676 = 15 + 64 + 73 + 62


NOTE: the order of the powers.
