By observation, we establish that each number is 2 more than half the previous number.
In equation from, the trend is as follows, with N the new number, and P the previous number.
N = P/2 + 2
Since the last number is 10
N = 10/2 + 2 = 7
I could have given you 7 right off the bat, but that would rob you of the thrill of knowing that you can observe an array of items and then create a formula to describe a certain pattern
existing among them.
Have a blessed day .... observing other things.

100 divided by two = 50 plus 2 =52
52 divided by two = 26 plus 2 =28
28 divided by two = 14 plus 2 =16
16 divided by two = 8 plus 2 =10
10 divided by two = 5 plus 2 =7
