Solution

The series seems to follow a pattern where each number is a result of a certain operation on the previous number. Let's try to find the pattern:

  1. 1 * 2 = 2
  2. 2 * 2 = 4
  3. 4 + 3 = 7
  4. 7 * 4 = 28
  5. 28 * 5 = 140
  6. 140 - 58 = 82 (not 198)
  7. 82 + 7 = 89 (not 205)

So, the wrong numbers in the series are 198 and 205. The correct series should be: 1, 2, 4, 7, 28, 140, 82, 89.
