Re: 3,6,18,72,360, what is the next two terms
Let's see if we can discover a "pattern"
3(1) = 3
3(2) = 6
3(6) = 18
3(24) = 72
3(120) = 360
Mmmmm....I think I see it now.....the terms inside the parentheses are just "factorials" - 1!, 2!, 3!, etc.
So, the next two terms should be
3(6!) = 2160
3(7!) = 15120
That's quite a nice series!! ...... (factorially speaking!!)
6 = 2*3
18 = 3*6
72 = 4*18
360 = 5*72
xxx = 6*360
yyy = ?*xxx
I'm sure you can work out what xxx is.
Looking at the pattern, what do you think ? is? With it and xxx you can work out what yyy is.
