Find A, B and C.
Hint
This is a recurrence relation, but it has 2 different processes, depending on whether the previous number is even or odd.B and C are easier to find than A.
Answer
If the previous number is even, then divide by 2 to find the next number. If the previous number is odd, then multiply by 5 and add 1.A = 23 x 5 + 1 = 116
B = 146/2 = 73
C = 366/2 = 183
