Best Answer

If you have a set of 3 or more numbers , such as 5 & 15 & 45 you will notice that 15 is 3 times the quantity as the number preceding it. You also notice that 45 is 3 times as large as the number preceding it . So we say that the RATIO between the numbers is 3 in both cases. Hence there is a COMMON RATIO. The next number in this series would need to also be in the ratio of 3 and so the next number would be 45X3 equals 135.

What is the common ratio of the geometric progression?

The common ratio is the ratio of the nth term (n > 1) to the (n-1)th term. For the progression to be geometric, this ratio must be a non-zero constant.


What is the common ratio for the following sequence 648 - 108 - 18 - 3?

The "common ratio" of a geometric series is any of the numbers, divided by the previous number.If in all cases you get the same ratio (the same result of a division), then you have a common ratio. If the division gives you different numbers, then there is no common ratio.

What is the common ratio in the sequence 12 -18 27?

12 × ratio = -18 → ratio = -18/12 = -3/2 = -1.5 Checking: -18 × ratio = -18 × -3/2 = 27 as required The common ratio is -3/2 (or -1.5)


Which sequence is a geometric sequence having 4 as its first term and 3 as the common ratio?

You start with the number 4, then multiply with the "common ratio" to get the next term. That, in turn, is multiplied by the common ratio to get the next term, etc.
