Explanation

The pattern alternates between division by 2 and subtraction by 2. The first pair 100, 50 follows 100÷2=50. The second pair 52, 26 follows 52÷2=26. The third pair starts with 28, so applying division: 28÷2=14. The fourth pair 16, 8 confirms the pattern with 16÷2=8. Each number is either halved or reduced by 2 in an alternating sequence.
