To find the next number in the series, let's examine the pattern within the given numbers: 3, 4, 6, 10, 18, 34, ?.
The pattern here appears to involve incrementing the number by an incrementally larger value each time. Let's break it down:
From 3 to 4, we add 1. From 4 to 6, we add 2. From 6 to 10, we add 4. From 10 to 18, we add 8. From 18 to 34, we add 16. Notice that the difference we add each time is doubling (1, 2, 4, 8, 16). So, to find the next number in the sequence, we will add the next doubled value, which is 16 doubled, equaling 32.
Therefore, the next number in the series is 34 + 32, which equals 66.
