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.
