Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's find the difference between consecutive numbers in the series:
22−5=17
39−22=17
56−39=17
The series is increasing by a constant difference of 17.
Therefore, the next number will be:
56+17=73
22−5=17
39−22=17
56−39=17
The series is increasing by a constant difference of 17.
Therefore, the next number will be:
56+17=73
