What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?

801, 800, 797, 792, 785, ?
Correct Answer
776
Stepwise Difference: To uncover the hidden progression, mathematically calculate the subtraction gaps between the consecutive given terms: 801 - 800 = 1; 800 - ......
💡 Analysis & Explanation
Stepwise Difference ▼
To uncover the hidden progression, mathematically calculate the subtraction gaps between the consecutive given terms: 801 - 800 = 1; 800 - 797 = 3; 797 - 792 = 5; 792 - 785 = 7.
Pattern Discovery ▼
The resulting difference values (1, 3, 5, 7) visibly form a perfect, continuous sequence of consecutive odd numbers.
Next Term Deduction ▼
Following this firmly established logic, the next logical odd number required to be subtracted from the sequence is 9. Therefore, executing 785 - 9 yields exactly 776.
Conclusion ▼
The missing numerical term that completes the sequence is 776.
