Insert the indicated number of arithmetic means given the first and last terms.
3 and+36
indicated number [7]
Between the endpoints, 3 and 36, the distance is 33+units.
7+inserted arithmetic means divide this distance, this segment [3,36], in 7%2B1+=+8 gaps of equal length.

33%2F8 is the common+difference of the arithmetic sequence
3, 57%2F8,45%2F4, 123%2F8,+39%2F2, 189%2F8, 111%2F4, 255%2F8, 36
so, you insert 57%2F8,45%2F4, 123%2F8,+39%2F2, 189%2F8, 111%2F4, 255%2F8
