What Two Numbers
What two numbers are used in this number pattern?
50, 50, 100, 100, 50, 51, 53, 52, 50....
50, 50, 100, 100, 50, 51, 53, 52, 50....
Answer
The numbers 1 and 2.First it is in this order: multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. Each step always begins with 1 and then 2, then it returns to 1 for the next step.
Step 1) 50x1=50 then 50x2=100;
Step 2) 100/1=100 then 100/2=50;
Step 3) 50+1=51 then 51+2=53;
Step 4) 53-1= 52 then 52-2=50.

Not really into math ...or good at it, but this held my interest for a while. ONCE i worked through the problem instead of searching for a pattern, I actually got the answer.....50*2=100*2=200/50=
100/2=50+1=51+2=53. I kinda liked the number chain concept, too. 50 used as half
100/2=50+1=51+2=53. I kinda liked the number chain concept, too. 50 used as half
