What are the next numbers in this sequence?
1,3,12,60,360,2520,...
The pattern is that the division of consecutive elements (k+1)/k results in consecutive numbers, starting with 3.
3/1=3
12/3=4
60/12=5
360/60=6
2520/360=7
so
X/2520=8 => X = 2520*8 = 20160
The next question in my mind is, what are the previous numbers in the sequence? 1/2 and 1/2 =) I don't think there can be a finite number before those, because then you would have
Y = 0.5/0
Later!
