Arithmetic Sequence Generator

Generate arithmetic sequences with custom parameters. Create any arithmetic progression by specifying first term, common difference, and number of terms. Perfect for math education and pattern analysis.

Arithmetic Sequence Generator Tool Introduction

A powerful Arithmetic Sequence Generator that creates arithmetic progressions based on your specifications. Simply enter the first term, common difference, and how many terms you need, and instantly generate the complete sequence.

Perfect for students learning about sequences, teachers creating practice problems, programmers testing algorithms, and anyone working with linear patterns in mathematics, finance, or data analysis.

Our generator not only creates the sequence but also provides the nth term formula, shows each term with its position, and allows you to copy the sequence in various formats for use in spreadsheets or other applications.

All calculations are performed locally in your browser for complete privacy. No data is collected or stored. Use this tool to understand arithmetic sequences, create test data, or explore mathematical patterns.

Understanding Arithmetic Sequences

An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers where each term is found by adding a constant value (common difference) to the previous term.

Formula

nth Term: an = a + (n-1)d

Where a is the first term, d is the common difference, and n is the term position.

Examples

Example 1: a = 5, d = 3, n = 6

Sequence: 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20

Example 2: a = 100, d = -10, n = 5

Sequence: 100, 90, 80, 70, 60

Example 3: a = 2.5, d = 0.5, n = 8

Sequence: 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0
