What is the next term in the pattern 2, 4, 8, 16, ...?

Explanation:
Each term is obtained by multiplying the previous one by 2, so this is a doubling pattern. From 2 to 4, 4 to 8, and 8 to 16 you can see the same rule repeating. Doubling 16 gives 32, so the next term is 32. (64 would come after that if the pattern continues; 16 and 8 are earlier terms in the sequence.)
