common difference
arithmetic progression









































in mathematics, an arithmetic progression (ap) or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant. difference here means the second minus the first.









































for instance, the sequence 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, . . . is an arithmetic progression with "common difference" of 2.









































if the initial term of an arithmetic progression is formula_1 and the common difference of successive members is "d", then the "n"th term of the sequence (formula_2) is given by:









































and in general
arithmetic progression
a simple formula exists for the frobenius number of a set of integers in an arithmetic sequence. given integers "a", "d", "w" with gcd("a", "d") = 1:









































the formula_28 case above may be expressed as a special case of this formula.









































in the event that formula_29, we can omit any subset of the elements formula_30 from our arithmetic sequence and the formula for the frobenius number remains the same.

there also exists a closed form solution for the frobenius number of a set in a geometric sequence. given integers "m", "n", "k" with gcd("m", "n") = 1:
