Correct answer
Explanation
The pattern is to multiply by 4 and add 4: 1 becomes 8, 8 becomes 36, and 36 becomes 148. The next term should be 148 x 4 + 4 = 596, so 586 is wrong.
AI explanation
The series follows the pattern of multiplying the previous term by 4 and then adding 4 to get the next term, such as (1 x 4) + 4 = 8 and (8 x 4) + 4 = 36. Following this pattern, the fourth term should be (36 x 4) + 4 = 148, and the term after that should be (148 x 4) + 4 = 596. Since the series lists 586 instead of 596, the wrong number is 586.
