Geometric Sequence Calculator

Geometric Sequence Calculator lets you a geometric sequence multiplies each term by a fixed common ratio. Enter your own values or load the worked example.

Method and calculation

A geometric sequence multiplies each term by a fixed common ratio.

Inputs and settings

Geometric Sequence Calculator accepts First term (signed value); Common ratio (signed value); Term count (minimum 1, maximum 1000).

Worked example

Geometric Sequence Calculator example — First term: 2; Common ratio: 3; Term count: 6. Computed output: { "last": 486, "sum": 728 }

Output and limitations

Geometric Sequence Calculator: Use finite inputs. Results use double-precision arithmetic.

Geometric Sequence Calculator FAQs

Geometric Sequence Calculator applies the following rule to your input: A geometric sequence multiplies each term by a fixed common ratio. The worked example on this page uses the same processor as the result button.
Geometric Sequence Calculator has these boundaries: Use finite inputs. Results use double-precision arithmetic. Start by checking the first term field against the units or format shown.
Geometric Sequence Calculator provides this sample: { "last": 486, "sum": 728 }. Use the sample button to reproduce it, then replace the inputs with your own values.
