What are the next three numbers.
27 / 3 = 9
9 / 3 = 3
3 / 3 = 1
1 / 3 = 1/3
1/3 / 3 = 1/9
1/9 / 3 = 1/27

Since 27,9,3,1 are in Geometric Series because
Second term divided by first =1/3
Third term divided by second =1/3 and so on therefore the series is Geometric
Next three numbers will be 1(1/3)=1/3, (1/3)(1/3)=1/9 and (1/9)(1/3) =1/27

Pattern
an = 27/(3^(n - 1))
an = (3^3)/(3^(n - 1))
an = 3^(3 - (n - 1))
an = 3^(3 - n + 1)
an = 3^(-n + 4)
27/3 = 9
9/3 = 3
3/3 = 1
1/3 = (1/3)
(1/3)/3 = (1/3)*(1/3) = (1/9)
(1/9) = (1/27)
ANS : (1/3), (1/9), (1/27)

I'm pretty sure it's dividing every number by 3... Divide 1 by three, and keep going.
