Etymology
This is the present participle of 'folgen' (to follow). 'folgendem' is a declined form, specifically dative singular for masculine/neuter nouns.
Memory Tips
Think of it as literally 'following'. The '-em' ending is a dative case marker, so you'll see it with dative prepositions like 'aus folgendem Grund' (for the following reason).
