To find the common ratio in a geometric sequence, we divide each term by the previous term.
Dividing the second term (12) by the first term (2) gives us 6.
Dividing the third term (18) by the second term (12) gives us 1.5.
Dividing the fourth term (132) by the third term (18) gives us 7.33.
From these calculations, we can see that the common ratio is not constant. Therefore, there is no common ratio in this sequence.
