Step 1: Check if the sequence is arithmetic.

[NOTE: Conclude that the given sequence is an arithmetic sequence. If you have a constant difference (common difference) between consecutive terms.]

[If the step 1 one is not satisfying then go to the step 2 otherwise not]

Step 2: Check if the sequence is geometric.

[NOTE: Conclude that The given progression is Geometric progression. If you have a ratio(common ratio) between two consecutive terms constant.]

Step 3: Conclude that the given sequence can be both arithmetic and geometric. If it repeats the same number over and over again.
