Without your question, this post makes no sense . . .
And I suspect that even WITH your question it makes no sense, too . . .
You can make your own conclusion, based on my post . . .

My response to the post by @Edwin McCravy
At the middle of this night, after reading the post by the tutor @Edwin McCravy from my cell phone, I was very surprised.
What ? Dr., professor Edwin McCravy tries to dispute / (to argue) my position ?
Does he try to construct logical arguments to predict the next term in this sequence ?
I can easily disprove all his arguments. Right now. In the next 5 minutes. In the next 4 lines. Using the same logic.
The increasing sequence of divisors of 4845 is
1, 3, 5, 15, 17, 19, 51, 57, 85, 255, 323 . . . and so on
Double them and you get
2, 6, 10, 30, 34, 38, 102, 114, 170, 510, 626 . . . and so on.
Professor Edwin McCrave is too smart to state that the number 102, next after 34 in his post, MUST BE the next number of the sequence.
He avoids making such a statement.
It is good, because in MY SEQUENCE the next number after 34 is 38, and it is obtained using the same arguments.
What is said, proves once again that the question "What is the next number of the sequence" makes no sense in this context.
Everybody with healthy mind, armed with the common sense, knows it.
I think (no, I am sure), Dr. professor Edwin McCravy does understand and knows it VERY WELL even WITHOUT MY ARGUMENTS.
But my duty in this forum is to clearly explain it to the visitors of this forum.
Memorize and remember it, and DO NOT WASTE your time and the tutors' time in this forum with such questions.
Actually, using this amount of time (spent by me for NOTHING . . . ), I would be really able to help
to other student (or two of them), who really needs/(need) help . . .
I hope that the reader has feeling that my tone is half-joking. Yes, it is. In half.
But in other half, I am absolutely serious . . .
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
And I have even more to say.
Why professor, Dr. McCravy thinks that the question in the post is to predict the next number of the sequence ?
This post came with no question, at all.
It might be that the visitor was to intent to ask about the sum of this numbers ?
Or about their product ? Or about the sum of their squares ? Or even about their alternate sum ?
What I want to say, the only one right treatment for such posts is to re-direct them into the GARBAGE BOX.
With the noble objective to educate their authors . . . - - - to teach them to respect the forum's rules and to respect the tutors.
Have a nice day, to everybody . . .

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The increasing sequence of divisors of 255 is
1, 3, 5, 15, 17, 51, 85, 255
Double them and you get
2, 6, 10, 30, 34, 102, 170, 510
