To determine the missing values in the sequence |6|42|7|?|?|2|, we should look for a pattern or relationship between the elements.
Let’s examine the pairs of numbers:
- The first two numbers are 6 and 42.
- The next number is 7.
- We need to find the two missing values before arriving at 2.
Looking closely:
- 6 and 42 could be related by multiplication or division, as 42 is 6 multiplied by 7 (6 * 7 = 42).
- Following this pattern, if we consider 7, the next value could logically follow the same multiplication pattern (perhaps by multiplying 7).
Continuing this idea:
- If we multiply 7 by the same 7: 7 * 7 = 49, so the first missing value can be
49. - Next, a possible multiplication could be to divide the last known number 2 by something that allows a smoother transition: If considering divisions or negative relationships, one might use the properties or observe transitions.
However, estimating further without specific numerical relations probably leads to mixed assumptions.
Instead, assuming a simple pattern, we’ll consider it as a sequence of two down, then perhaps to another operation fitting.
To summarize, the sequence could be:
- 6, 42 (multiply by 7)
- 7, ?, ?
- If following similar transitions, we could guess those could quickly nip to assessing it via consistent divisibility or equivalently structured checks next.
Thus potentially, values could be consistent like transitioning to 1 or similar direct drops after 7 seeming around lightly before this dropping to second half.
Thus resuming, we will quote:
The complete theoretical sequence is guessed:
6, 42, 7, 49, 1, 2
So, the missing values could logically be 49 and 1.
