Each of the first four terms of the given series is a multiple of 14. So you can write this series as:
.
14*(1, 2, 3, 4,..... )
.
and you can expand the series out to 100 terms as follows:
.
14*(1, 2, 3, 4, ... 96, 97, 98, 99, 100)
.
As you can see, the 100th term will then be 14*100 = 1400
.
Hope this helps you to understand this series of terms a little better.
