In problems with sequences or operations applied in steps, identify the pattern or formula used for each step and apply it consistently to the input values.
Step 1: Understanding the given table.
The problem presents a table with various inputs (5, 12, 6, 9, 4) and outputs for each. We are asked to find the output for an input of 26 based on the pattern from the table.
The table has the following steps:
- Step 1: Input number, Output as a sequence of digits.
- Step 2: A formula for calculating the result is applied.
- Step 3-6: Further calculations are shown based on a set of operations. Step 2: Observing the steps in the pattern.
The key operation pattern in the table for each input involves the manipulation of numbers, specifically the operations like adding, multiplying, or applying a formula to get the output. We observe that for inputs such as 5, 12, 6, 9, and 4, the results are consistent.
For 5:
- Output for 5 is: 500.
For 26, apply the steps, and we get the result. Following the pattern of calculation, the final output for input 26 is **8**. Step 3: Conclusion.
Therefore, the correct output for input 26 is 8, which corresponds to (B).
