Solution

The pattern in this series is that each number is half of the previous number.

Starting with 2, the next number is 1 (which is 2 divided by 2), then 1/2 (which is 1 divided by 2), then 1/4 (which is 1/2 divided by 2).

So, to find the next number, we should divide the last number (1/4) by 2.

1/4 divided by 2 equals 1/8.

So, the next number in the series should be 1/8.
