How to find the missing digits in the series  How to find digits in a series is both difficult as well as easy. There are some necessary initiatives that are helpful to solve the solution: For example:  Multiples of Even numbers: 2 x 1 = 2 2 x 2 = 4 2 x 3 = 6 2 x 4 = 8 And so on  2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and so on Multiples of odd numbers are numbers that can be expressed as the product of an odd number and an integer.
