The first term of a geometric sequence is 48, and the 5th term of the sequence is 24316 . What are the geometric means between these terms?

I don't know what a geometric mean is,
but, if it's asking for the common ratio, then
1st term 48
2nd term 48 • r
3rd term (48 • r) • r
4th term (48 • r • r) • r
5tth term (48 • r • r • r) • r
48 r4 = 24,316
r4 = 506.5833
r = 4.7442
