Question

Identify the pattern in the following sequence: 6, 3, 12, 9, 36, 33, ___? Identify the next number after 33.

Answer 1

Looking at the sequence, it seems like we subtract 3 first and then multiply it by 4. See the pattern below:

6 - 3 = 3

3 x 4 = 12

12 - 3 = 9

9 x 4 = 36

36 - 3 = 33

33 x 4 = 132.

Therefore, the next number after 33 is 132.
