With 138,134,140,146,152, what the next number if the pattern continues

158 would be the the next number in the pattern

The next number would be 158.

I don't have a specific formula to follow but I have noticed this pattern.

138 and 134

140 and 146

152 and ___

Based on the previous set. The first two numbers are the same.

138 and 134 has 13

140 and 146 has 14

so, 152 and ___ should have 15.

The last number i think is based on the multiplication table of 6.

6 x 3 = 18

6 x 4 = 24

6 x 5 = 30

6 x 6 = 36

6 x 7 = 42

6 x 8 = 48 * only the last number of every product is taken up in the number sequence. Thus, the unknown number is 158.
