What are the missing numbers in the series 15 20 24?

Published in Number Sequences 2 mins read

Based on the provided reference, it appears there's an incomplete sequence presented in the question. A more complete sequence has the following pattern: 15, 20, 24, 15, 28, 32, 15, 36, 40, 15. However, if we assume the question refers to the series where the sequence is 15, 20, 24, it does not follow a simple pattern of adding a fixed value. It seems like the question's context has been updated or modified from an original larger sequence, so the question itself doesn't reflect the complete idea of what the provided reference implies. The reference shows the complete series as 15, 20, 24, 15, 28, 32, 15, 36, 40, 15 where the missing numbers are actually parts of this larger series that follows a pattern.

Here's a breakdown based on the complete sequence from the reference:

Understanding the Series Pattern

The sequence is actually composed of multiple series segments where each segment is followed by '15' and numbers that are incremented by 4.

  • Segment 1: Starts with 15, then adds 5 to make 20, followed by adding 4 to 20 to result in 24.
  • Segment 2: Starts again with 15, then adds 13 to get 28, followed by adding 4 to 28 to get 32.
  • Segment 3: Starts again with 15, then adds 21 to get 36, followed by adding 4 to 36 to get 40
  • Final Element: Finally ends with 15, completing the pattern.

Therefore, the missing numbers as given by the reference and complete series are 36 and 40.


Sequence Part Values
Starting Segment 1 15, 20, 24
Segment 2 15, 28, 32
Segment 3 15, 36, 40
Final Number 15



Complete Sequence: 15, 20, 24, 15, 28, 32, 15, 36, 40, 15

Example:
If we were focusing on the numerical progression of each segment (20, 24), (28, 32) and (36,40), we would add 4 to each number.
