Arithmetic Progression And Geometric Progression

An arithmetic progression is a sequence of numbers where the difference between the 2 successive numbers is constant in the series. Geometric Progression is a sequence of numbers where the terms are related to each other by a common ratio. Both AP & GP are important concepts of sequence and series and you must learn the important formula and examples. Questions from AP & GP are asked in various government job examinations including SSC and Railways.

Arithmetic Progression

The first term of an AP is called as the initial term. The common difference, d between 2 terms of an AP can be found by subtracting the successive terms. The formula with examples of AP has been provided below.
