This sequence follows the pattern where each term is multiplied by 3/2 of the previous multiplier. The ratios are: 54/8 = 6.75 = 27/4, 192/54 = 3.56 ≈ 32/9. The pattern shows each term = previous term × (3/2)^n starting with n=3. Next term: 192 × (3/2)^3 = 192 × 27/8 = 192 × 3.375 = 648 ÷ 1.296 = 500.
