What are the next two numbers in this sequence 1 8 27?

The next two numbers in the sequence 1, 8, 27 are 64 and 125.

This sequence represents the cubes of consecutive natural numbers. Let's break it down:

• 1 = 1³ (1 cubed)
• 8 = 2³ (2 cubed)
• 27 = 3³ (3 cubed)

Following this pattern:

• The next number would be 4³ = 64 (4 cubed)
• The number after that would be 5³ = 125 (5 cubed)

Therefore, the sequence continues: 1, 8, 27, 64, 125... As mentioned in the reference, the sequence of cubes continues as 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512, ...
