What number would complete the pattern below? 107, 98, 90, 83, 77, __, 68, 65

Solution:

The given pattern is

107, 98, 90, 83, 77, __, 68, 65

Let us find the difference between each number

107 - 98 = 9

98 - 90 = 8

90 - 83 = 7

83 - 77 = 6

77 - x = 5

x - 68 = 4

68 - 65 = 3

Let us find the value of x

77 - x = 5

x = 77 - 5

x = 72

Therefore, the number 72 would complete the pattern.
