What numbers should replace the question marks in the sequence?
Correct answer: 227, 443
Explanation:
The sequence is 2, 3, 11, 38, 102, ?, ?.
Look at the differences between the numbers:
3 - 2 = 1
11 - 3 = 8
38 - 11 = 27
102 - 38 = 64
The differences are 1, 8, 27, 64. These are cube numbers:
1 = 1³
8 = 2³
27 = 3³
64 = 4³
So the next differences should be:
5³ = 125
6³ = 216
Continue the sequence:
102 + 125 = 227
227 + 216 = 443
Therefore, the missing numbers are 227 and 443.
