what comes next 16, 11, 6

1 answer

To identify the next number in the sequence 16, 11, 6, we can look at the differences between the numbers:

  • 16 to 11: decreased by 5
  • 11 to 6: decreased by 5

This indicates that the pattern is to subtract 5 from the previous number.

Continuing this pattern:

6 - 5 = 1

So, the next number in the sequence is 1.
