The given series is: 10 - 17 - 26 - 37. Let’s analyze the pattern:
-
The difference between consecutive terms is as follows:
-
(17 - 10 = 7)
-
(26 - 17 = 9)
-
(37 - 26 = 11)
-
We notice that the differences are odd numbers (7, 9, 11).
-
To find the next term, we add the next odd number to the last term:
Therefore, the next number in the series is 5012.
