Insert the missing number in 5760, 960, ?, 48, 16, 8 — observe a systematic division pattern from term to term.

Introduction / Context:
This is a division-based series. Many such puzzles progressively divide by descending integers or a clear sequence of divisors. Identifying the divisor sequence reveals the missing value.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Known terms: 5760 → 960 → ? → 48 → 16 → 8.
• We assume each step uses a consistent divisor pattern that fits all transitions.

Concept / Approach:
Check divisions between adjacent known terms to infer the divisor sequence. Apply the same divisors to fill in the blank term.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Any other divisor sequence would break at least one of the later divisions. The chain ÷6, ÷5, ÷4, ÷3, ÷2 is uniquely consistent.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• 120, 160, 240 do not preserve the required later divisions to 48, 16, and 8 when back-checked.

Common Pitfalls:
Trying alternating multiplication/division when a simple descending division sequence fits all known links neatly.
