The answer is
You can generate this by
-1
The next number is
Because you are displaying the sequence:
for which, the first 6 nonzero natural numbers $j = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$ yields:
This is the simplest and neatest solution because

The answer is
For this kind of question, we cannot just simply split the terms as every term is connected to each other.
Therefore, the logic is
Here is the process:
(3/2)*(2/3)=1
(2/3)*(3/4)=1/2
(3/4)*(1/3)=1/4
(1/3)*(3/8)=1/8
(3/8)*(1/6)=1/16
Hope this clarifies.

Obviously the answer is
because
That is,
For odd: $3/2 \times 1/2 = 3/4.$ $3/4 \times 1/2 = 3/8.$
For even: $2/3 \times 1/2 = 2/6\implies 1/3.$ $1/3 \times 1/2 = 1/6.$

First, I define three functions:
Those functions produce the values
Then we can express the sequence like that:
Giving
and finally
so the next element is

Surely not the intended answer
Jaap has of course identified the intended sequence. It seems to me that all the algorithms described so far are strictly more complicated than the following, which is simply another way of formulating the division operation and seems entirely straightforward to do in one's head. However, it can't be the intended answer ...

Jaap Scherpuis found the answer, but the OP wants more explanation and a simple construction...
I am middle aged bike rider still in prime shape.

So the answer is
I am not sure I have found the intended "key" and generating method, but one possible method is the following.

The final grid is
And the pattern is

The nth element of the sequence is
Alternatively, if you use an offset such that the first term has n=2, you could say

Saw this Question Late , Anyways i recognised a pattern
Take an iterator with initial value 1 , count upto n (initial value = 1).
While counting repeat every number < n, n times so ,
i=1 and n=1
1
i=1 , n=2

i=1 , n=3

i=1 , n=4
