What will be next in this series?
$$0, 6, 24, 60, 120, 210, ...$$
I've tried it and noticed that the numbers are multiples of six. But I couldn't make a relation between them.

It seems like




sum of digit series

f(n)=n*sumOfDigits(n-1)*sumOfDigits(n+1)




example:-




f(1)=1*sumOfDigits(1-1)*sumOfDigits(1+1) = 1*0*2 = 0

f(2)=2*sumOfDigits(2-1)*sumOfDigits(2+1) = 2*1*3 = 6

f(3)=3*sumOfDigits(3-1)*sumOfDigits(3+1) = 3*2*4 = 24

f(4)=4*sumOfDigits(4-1)*sumOfDigits(4+1) = 4*3*5 = 60

f(5)=5*sumOfDigits(5-1)*sumOfDigits(5+1) = 5*4*6 = 120

f(6)=6*sumOfDigits(6-1)*sumOfDigits(6+1) = 6*5*7 = 210




Answer:-




f(7)=7*sumOfDigits(7-1)*sumOfDigits(7+1) = 7*6*8 = 336

It seems like a




cube series.




Namely,




cube of 1 is 1 then 1 - 1 = 0

cube of 2 is 8 then 8 - 2 = 6

cube of 3 is 27 then 27 - 3 = 24

cube of 4 is 64 then 64 - 4 = 60

cube of 5 is 125 then 125 - 5 = 120

cube of 6 is 216 then 216 - 6 = 210

cube of 7 is 343 then 343 - 7 = 336

  • Take differences between terms:




    $6, 18, 36, 60, 90, ...$





  • Notice that these are




    $6$ times the triangular numbers $1, 3, 6, 12, 15, ...$





So the next difference should be




$6times 21 = 126$




and the next term should be




$210+126=336$.

Simple Answer:




The $n$th term is $n(n-1)(n+1)$ and thus the required one is the seventh term giving an answer of $$7(6)(8)=336.$$
