Identify the incorrect number in the following series:

5040, 720, 120, 24, 8, 2

Question

Identify the incorrect number in the following series:

5040, 720, 120, 24, 8, 2

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Let's analyze the pattern in the series: 5040, 720, 120, 24, 8, 2.

2. Check the ratio between consecutive terms:
   - $5040 	imes \frac{1}{7} = 720$
   - $720 	imes \frac{1}{6} = 120$
   - $120 	imes \frac{1}{5} = 24$

3. According to the pattern, the next term should be:
   - $24 	imes \frac{1}{4} = 6$

4. However, the series shows 8 instead of 6, which breaks the pattern.

5. Continuing the pattern:
   - $6 	imes \frac{1}{3} = 2$

6. Since 8 is incorrect and should be 6, the wrong number in the series is **8**.

**Answer:** 8
