Question 1164628
<br>
Not a valid math question -- just like ANY other problem like this.<br>
ANY next number(s) will form a valid sequence, so it is ALWAYS IMPOSSIBLE to know the "right" answer to ANY question like this.<br>
Spend a short amount of time looking for some logical pattern in the given numbers.  But realize that any logical answer you come up with might not be "right".<br>
Here is what I see, leading to a POSSIBLE answer to the problem.<br>
7 times 2 plus 2 = 16; 16 divided by 2 = 8
8 times 3 plus 3 = 27; 27 divided by 3 = 9
9 times 4 plus 4 = 40; 40 divided by 4 = 10.<br>
So the next two numbers in the sequence MIGHT be 40 and 10.<br>
But you/I can never know....<br>
