The given series is 36, 34, 30, 28, 24 by subtracting with 2&4 we get next number to the 24.
36-2=34
34-4=30
30-2=28
28-4=24
24-2=22.
22 is the final number which is next to the 24 in the given above series.
Therefore, 22 is the next number.
36-2=34
34-4=30
30-2=28
28-4=24
24-2=22.
22 is the final number which is next to the 24 in the given above series.
Therefore, 22 is the next number.

36-34=2
34-30=4
30-28=2
28-24=4
24-22=2
Here 22 will next term.
34-30=4
30-28=2
28-24=4
24-22=2
Here 22 will next term.

36 - 2 = 34.
34 - 4 = 30.
30 - 2 = 28.
28 - 4 = 24.
So now,
24 - 2 = 22 answer.
34 - 4 = 30.
30 - 2 = 28.
28 - 4 = 24.
So now,
24 - 2 = 22 answer.

Add Subtracted to 6, 4 or 4 digit number but this simple logic.
36- 2 = 34.
34- 4 = 30.
30 -2 = 28.
24 -4 = 22.
The number should be 22 is correct answers.
36- 2 = 34.
34- 4 = 30.
30 -2 = 28.
24 -4 = 22.
The number should be 22 is correct answers.

Alternatively subtract the values by 2 and 4.

Odd terms are multiple into 6 and even terms are subtracted to 6.
6*6 = 36 34-6 = 28.
5*6 = 30 28-6 = 22.
4*6 = 24.
The number should be 22.
6*6 = 36 34-6 = 28.
5*6 = 30 28-6 = 22.
4*6 = 24.
The number should be 22.

36-34 = 2.
34-30 = 4.
30-28 = 2.
28-24 = 4.
24-22 = 2.
Just follow the series of 2,4,2,4,last is 2 ....it will get by subtracting 24-22=2.
34-30 = 4.
30-28 = 2.
28-24 = 4.
24-22 = 2.
Just follow the series of 2,4,2,4,last is 2 ....it will get by subtracting 24-22=2.
