Great job! You correctly identified the pattern in the series of numbers. Each number alternates between subtracting or adding multiples of 4 and doubling or halving the result.

To find the next number, we can continue the pattern.

Starting with the last number, 56:
56 + 128 = 184

So, the next number in the series is 184.
