Which Number Comes Next in the Sequence: 2, 4, 6, 8?

Problem Statement

What number comes next in this sequence: 2, 4, 6, 8, ?

Answer

10

Step-by-Step Explanation

  1. 1

    Look at the difference between consecutive numbers.

  2. 2

    4 - 2 = 2

  3. 3

    6 - 4 = 2

  4. 4

    8 - 6 = 2

  5. 5

    The pattern is: add 2 to get the next number.

  6. 6

    Therefore: 8 + 2 = 10

  7. 7

    This is the sequence of even numbers.
