Sum of series 24,3,8,1,2,7..to 8th term is?
Take the 1st and 2nd terms, 24,3, put them together, 243 = 3^5.
Take the 3rd and 4th terms, 8,1, put them together, 81 = 3^4.
Take the 5th and 6th terms, 2,7, put them together, 27 = 3^3.
Take the 7th and 8th terms, 0,9, put them together, 09 = 3^2.
Sum of 8 terms = 24+3+8+1+2+7+0+9 = 54
