Fraction Differences First Sequence To begin with I looked at the first sequence of fractions to discover the formula that explained it. As all the numerators were 1 I looked at the denominators. As these all increased by 1 every time, I figured that the formula was simply as the denominators corresponded to the implied first line as shown in this table below: nth number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Denominators 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 I shall call this Formula 1 (F1) for easy reference. Second Sequence Again I decided to discount the numerator as it was 1, and I decided to concentrate on the differences between the denominators rather than the 'fractions'. So I am looking for a formula that will explain the sequence: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30. First of all though I decided to extend the sequence in order to have a broader range to work with. I used a calculator to work out the following denominators finding the difference between and ,...
