4, 8, 24, 48, 144, 288, ........ next number will be

sanjeev   13 years AGO

series is like that
odd no terms such as 4,24,144...are multiple of 6
4*6=24 & 24*6=144 so next term would be 144^6=864
same way even no of terms such as 8,48,288 are also multile of 6 such as 8*6=48,48*6=288..same way seris continues...

Ashish Badoni   13 years AGO

the series is:
4,
4*2=8,
8*3=24,
24*2=48,
48*3=144,
144*2=288,
Therefore, next term will be
288*3=864............ANSWER

We can also say that this is a combination of TWO series, one starting with 4 and other starting with 8 and then for next,multiplying the present term with 6 that means
1> 4,24,144,864....
2> 8,48,288,1728....
therefore series is
4,8,24,48,144,288,864,1728......

sharan reddy    13 years AGO

as the sequence contains two series
=>4,24,144=4,4*6,24*6,144*6
=>8,48,288=8,8*6,48*6,288*6
=>4,24,144,864
