48,24,35,7,16,8,75,15,80,40,275,55,102,51,530,106 is the series

48/2=24 & 35/5=7
16/2=8 $ 75/5=15
now we have to add the numbers we get on dividing by 5 and 2 in order to get the next two numbers of the series.
i.e 7+8=15 & 15*5=75
similarly, 15+40=55 & 55*5=275 so the next two numbers are 275 and 55.
its a difficult series so try to understand the solution carefully.

48/2=24,16/2=8,80/2=40
35/7=5,75/15=5
so,35+40=75...7+8=15
75+40=115...15+8=23
115/23=5
