Series Pattern Identification
Examine the differences between consecutive terms in the series: 2, 4, 7, 11, 16.
- $4 - 2 = 2$
- $7 - 4 = 3$
- $11 - 7 = 4$
- $16 - 11 = 5$
The differences are increasing sequentially: 2, 3, 4, 5.
Completing the Series
The pattern shows that the next difference should be 6.
To find the missing term, add this next difference to the last term of the series:
- Last term = 16
- Next difference = 6
- Missing term = $16 + 6 = 22$
Therefore, the next number in the series is 22.
