Now that the pattern is clear, we can apply it to the final equation (8 + 6 = ?). According to the sequence, the multiplier should now be 5. The sum of 8 + 6 is 14. Multiply by 5 → 14 × 5 = 70.

Mathematical patterns reveal profound truths about the universe and, surprisingly, about our inner lives as well. These five visual math concepts offer unique frameworks for understanding our ...

In total, the researchers gathered data from more than 1,500 sources to show that the inverse size-number pattern is present in the cells of a typical man, woman and child.
