The pattern is fairly easy if you examine only the denominators. Since all the numerators are the same, you don't need to examine those. If you know your squares, it should show you an ascending pattern of squares in the denominators. 4 is 2 squared, 9 is 3 squared, 16 is 4 squared, etc.

The next two would be 1/36 and 1/49 because after 5 squared come 6 squared and 7 squared, or 36 and 49.

1/36, 1/49
I forget the correct way to write this but I guess the pattern is
1/n^2 for all integers starting at n=1

The next two numbers pattern are 1/36 and 1/49
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
1 - 1/(1^2)
1/4 - 1/(2^2)
1/9 - 1/(3^2)
1/16 - 1/(4^2)
1/25 - 1/(5^2) so the next two numbers are:
1/36 - 1/(6^2)
1/49 - 1/(7^2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Hope that Helps and Good Luck-

the n-th number in this series is

1/(n^2)
so the 6th number 1/36
and the 7th number is 1/49
