I'm assuming you mean the difference between any two consecutive terms.
If you mean ANY two terms then there would be infinitely many differences (the differences would all be even numbers).

an arithmetic sequence is a sequence where a CONSTANT number (the same number) is added to each term to get the next. to find the common difference, subtract a previous term from the next one.
for example, 9-7=2; 7-5=2, etc. so the common difference is 2.
for a geometric sequence, you would divide any term by the one before it.

An even number. You said between any of the two terms, not any of the teo terms next to each other.

Why did rickey give you Pi as an answer? it doesn't have anything to do with the question you asked. ignore rickey he's an idiot.
