Number series is a sequence or orderly arrangement formed with numbers. Number Series is the one of the most important topic of Mathematics. In the number series questions, the series are based on sequences of numbers that follow a logical pattern based on basic arithmetic concepts and we have to detect that concept then predict the next number in the sequence by following the same logic.

to say, the number is divided by 2 successively to get the next result.
4/2 = 2
2/2 = 1
1/2 = 1/2
(1/2)/2 = 1/4
(1/4)/2 = 1/8 and so on.
