each number is the sum of the two previous numbers.

That's the fibonacci sequence, I believe. Sum the last two numbers, like 1 + 1. Then 1 + 2 for the 3. Then 2 + 3 for the 5. Then 5 + 8 for the 13... etc :)
Then it would be:
8 + 13 = 21
13 + 21 = 34
21 + 34 = 55
Hope this helps!

It's the Fibonacci sequence, you take the first two numbers add them together, and you get the next number
1+1=2
2+3=5
3+5=8
5+8=13
8+13=21
13+21=34
21+34=55
21,34,55

dude, u just have to add the two numbers first: then the second , then the third. like these
1+1 =2
1+2 = 3
2+3 =5
3+5 = 8
5+8 = 13
8+13 = 21
13+21 =34
And so on and so forth

1+1=2
1+2=3
2+3=5
3+5=8
5+8=13
8+13=21
13+21=34

Each number is the sum of the previous two. That series is called the Fibonacci series. Good night!
