need to find 3 more terms, you are already given 3 terms of the 6
the pattern is to multiply by 2: 13*2=26*2=52*2=104*2=208*2=416*2=832
13,26,52,104,208,416
add theses numbers together and you get : 819

Multiples of 13. Sequence may be 13%2A2%5E%28n-1%29.

Without using any advanced summation formulas,
13%2B26%2B52%2B2%2A52%2B2%2A2%2A52%2B2%2A2%2A2%2A52
