$\frac{8}{49}$ $8/49$

Each fraction in the sequence is two times the fraction before it.
$2 \cdot \frac{1}{98} = \frac{1}{49}$ $2*1/98=1/49$

$2 \cdot \frac{1}{49} = \frac{2}{49}$ $2*1/49=2/49$

$2 \cdot \frac{2}{49} = \frac{4}{49}$ $2*2/49=4/49$

$2 \cdot \frac{4}{49} = \frac{8}{49}$ $2*4/49=8/49$

What's the next term in this sequence? 198,149,249,4491/98, 1/49, 2/49, 4/49
