To find the next number in the pattern, we need to identify the pattern or rule that governs the sequence of numbers. Looking at the given numbers 20,000, 4,000, 800, and 160, we can observe that each number is obtained by dividing the previous number by 5.
Let's calculate the next number based on this pattern:
20,000 ÷ 5 = 4,000
4,000 ÷ 5 = 800
800 ÷ 5 = 160
So, the next number in the pattern is obtained by dividing 160 by 5:
160 ÷ 5 = 32
Therefore, the next number in the pattern is 32.
