Geometric Progression

Numerical sequence in which the rule is that each term must be equal to the preceding term multiplied by a constant.

Examples

  • Consider this sequence: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, … Each term in the sequence is multiplied by 2 to find the next term.
  • Consider this sequence: 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, 729, 2187, … Each term in the sequence is multiplied by 3 to find the next term.
