Math Pattern?
I am having trouble with the pattern for 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4…
What do I have to do with the number to get the next term?
I thought it would be +1 to the denominator, but the problem has to be adding, subtracting, dividing, or multiplying a number to get the next term and I can’t figure it out.
Can anyone help me out?

1/2 is 1/2 of 1
1/3 is 2/3 of 1/2
1/4 is 3/4 of 1/3
1/5 is 4/5 of 1/4
That’s the only idea I have that might be any help… sorry!

Hey,
This is a Harmonic Progression. If a, b and c are in HP, then 1/a, 1/b, 1/c are in Arithmatic Progression…
so, 2/b = 1/a+1/c or, 2/b= a+c/ac
Us this concept to find the next term
