document.write( "After inserting 7 arithmetic means between 2 and 26, you will have (7+1) = 8 gaps of the equal size between 2 and 26.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, each gap is of   =  = 3 units wide.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, the common difference of the arithmetic progression is 3 and the first term is 2.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the progression, with 7 inserted arithmetic means, is \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26.\r\n" );
