The differences between consecutive terms are the consecutive odd numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, and so on. Following this pattern, the terms continue as 11 + 7 = 18, 18 + 9 = 27, 27 + 11 = 38, 38 + 13 = 51, 51 + 15 = 66, 66 + 17 = 83, 83 + 19 = 102, 102 + 21 = 123, 123 + 23 = 146, 146 + 25 = 171, 171 + 27 = 198. The fifteenth term is 198.
