The pattern is: 135*2 - 3 = 267; 267*2 - 6 = 528; 528*2 - 9 = 1047; 1047*2 - 12 = 2082.
The pattern follows multiplying by 2 and then adding or subtracting a decreasing odd number. For instance, 135 times 2 minus 3 equals 267, and 267 times 2 minus 6 equals 528. Continuing, 528 times 2 minus 9 gives 1047. We verify this because 1047 times 2 minus 12 equals 2082. The missing term is 1047.
