Number Sequence Finder
Detect arithmetic, geometric, Fibonacci-like, square, or quadratic patterns in a number sequence and predict the next terms. Runs entirely in your browser.
🔒 This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server.
Enter at least 3 numbers to detect the pattern.

How it works
- Enter at least 3 numbers in order.
- The tool checks common patterns and reports the first match.
- See the next three predicted terms.
The patterns checked
Arithmetic: aₙ₊₁ − aₙ = constant
Geometric: aₙ₊₁ ÷ aₙ = constant
Fibonacci-like: aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + aₙ₋₂
Squares: aₙ = n²
Quadratic: second difference is constant
FAQ
What patterns can this detect?
Arithmetic (constant difference), geometric (constant ratio), Fibonacci-like (each term is the sum of the previous two), perfect squares, and quadratic sequences (constant second difference) — the most common sequence types in math puzzles and coursework.
What if my sequence isn't recognized?
Some sequences follow patterns too complex or unusual for this detector (alternating rules, multi-step recurrences, etc.) — try entering more terms, or the pattern may need manual analysis.
How many numbers do I need to enter?
At least 3, though more terms give the detector more confidence — a 3-term arithmetic match could coincidentally also fit another pattern with a different next term.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No — pattern detection happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
