what is the common difference of 1/2, 1/3, 1/6, 0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The common difference for this sequence is  -1%2F6.

It is  EASY  to check directly.

Do this check on your own.


Alternatively, you can present your sequence as  3/6,  2/6,  1/6,  0,

and then the common difference becomes directly visible/detectable.
