Brain Teaser No : 7

What are the next two numbers in the given series?

0, 6, 24, 60, 120, 210, ?, ?

Answer

The next two numbers are 336 and 504.

The pattern is (N^3 - N), where N is the position.

First Number = 1^3 - 1 = 0

Second Number = 2^3 - 2 = 6
Third Number = 3^3 - 3 = 24
Fourth Number = 4^3 - 4 = 60
Fifth Number = 5^3 - 5 = 120
Sixth Number = 6^3 - 6 = 210

Seventh Number = 7^3 - 7 = 336

Eighth Number = 8^3 - 8 = 504

Thus, the next two numbers are 336 and 504.
