Both arithmetic and geometric are sequences of numbers but have distinct characteristics. The biggest difference between arithmetic vs geometric series lies in the type of difference between the consecutive terms. The consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence have a constant difference while the terms of a geometric difference are in a constant ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
