How to Use the Pattern Detector
Complete guide to detecting patterns in number sequences
1Enter Your Sequence
Input your number sequence using various formats:
- Comma-separated: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
- Space-separated: 1 4 9 16 25
- Line-separated: Each number on a new line
- Mixed format: The tool automatically parses different delimiters
2Analyze Patterns
The tool automatically detects multiple pattern types:
3Review Pattern Details

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the pattern detection?
Our pattern detection algorithm uses multiple statistical methods and heuristics to identify patterns with high accuracy. The tool provides confidence scores and validates patterns against multiple criteria. For best results, provide at least 5-10 numbers in your sequence.
What happens if my sequence has multiple patterns?
The tool will detect and display all possible patterns it identifies, ranked by confidence level. Some sequences may have multiple valid interpretations (e.g., a sequence could be both arithmetic and part of a larger polynomial pattern). Review all suggestions to find the most appropriate one.
Can it detect custom or complex patterns?
Yes! Beyond basic arithmetic and geometric sequences, our tool can identify polynomial patterns, recursive sequences, power series, and other complex mathematical relationships. It uses advanced pattern matching algorithms to detect even non-obvious patterns.
How many numbers do I need for reliable detection?
Minimum 3-4 numbers are required, but 6-10 numbers provide much better accuracy. For complex patterns like polynomial sequences, more data points (10-15) will yield more reliable results and better predictions for future terms.
What if no pattern is detected?
If no clear pattern is found, the sequence might be random, have missing terms, or follow a very complex pattern beyond our current detection capabilities. Try checking for data entry errors, adding more terms, or consider that the sequence might be genuinely random.
Can I use this for sequences with decimals?
Absolutely! The tool works with integers, decimals, fractions, and negative numbers. It automatically handles different number formats and can detect patterns in sequences like 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 or more complex decimal progressions.
