Explanation

The pattern is division by 1.1 (or multiplication by 0.909). 5824 / 1.111... = 5242. 5242 / 1.111... = 4718. 4718 / 1.111... = 4247. 4247 / 1.111... = 3823.

AI explanation

The series follows a pattern of subtracting the squares of consecutive prime numbers from the previous terms. Subtracting 11 squared from 5824 gives 5242, subtracting 13 squared from 5242 gives 4718, subtracting 17 squared from 4718 gives 4247, and subtracting 19 squared from 4247 gives 3823. The missing term is therefore 4718.
