17,19,22,26,28,31,35,37,_,_,......

Answer

17,  19,    22,    26,  28 ,   31,  35,   37, _, _, ......
   +2    +3    +4    +2   +3    +4   +2

Next two numbers    37+3 =40
                             40+4 =44

Pattern Recognition -94

Find out the next two numbers in the series.
57, 1119, 3567, 131259, _ ,_,..........

Answer

57, 1119, 3567, 131259, _ ,_,..........

5,     7 ,    11 ,   19 ,    35 ,     67 ,    131 ,   259,...........
  +2    +4     +8     +16    +32     +64    +128

Tn= Tn-1 +(2 ^(n-1)) where n > 1

Next four numbers

259 +  256    =  515
515 + 512     = 1027
1027 + 1024 = 2051
2051 + 2048 = 4099

Next two numbers in the original series
5151027 , 20514099

57, 1119, 3567, 131259, 5151027 , 20514099, ..........

Pattern Recognition - 93

Find out the next two numbers in the series.
8, 6, 10, 24, 62, 162,_,_ 

Answer

8, 6, 10, 24, 62, 162,_,_
6 =8+10 /3

8, 6, 10, 24, 62, 162,_,_
10=6+24 /3

8, 6, 1024, 62, 162,_,_
62=24+162 /3

Next two numbers  (162 *3) - 62 = 424
                              (424*3) -162 =1110

8, 6, 10, 24, 62, 162, 424 , 1110,.........
