Determine the Next Number in the 582,985 and 583,985 Sequence

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the increment between the given sequence numbers.
• Step 2: Use this increment to find the next numbers in the sequence.

Let's work through each step:

Step 1: Identify the increment.
The sequence begins with $582,985$ and $583,985$. Calculate the difference between these numbers:
$583,985 - 582,985 = 1,000$.
Thus, each number in the sequence increases by 1,000.

Step 2: Extend the sequence.
Starting from the last given number $583,985$, add 1,000 to find the subsequent numbers:

• The next number is $583,985 + 1,000 = 584,985$.
• The following number is $584,985 + 1,000 = 585,985$.
• Continue this process: $585,985 + 1,000 = 586,985$.

Therefore, by continuing the arithmetic pattern, the completed sequence is:
$584,985, 585,985, 586,985$.

Matching this result with the given choices, the correct answer is choice 3, which is:
$584,985, 585,985, 586,985$.
