Re: Next number in the series...
HI All,
Th answer is 729. The logic is of two steps :- 1) First of all subtract the first number from second, second from third, third from fourth and so on. You will be left with 1, 2, 9, 18, 81.... 2) The last step is divide second number by first, third by second and so on. You will automatically find the next number. James, please confirm. Thanks, Nikhar
