If we observe the pattern of the first 4 equations,
Let a n = 1 + n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ( n + 3 )
We can see that
n(n+3)+1= a n
So,
1 + 2 0 4 × 2 0 5 × 2 0 6 × 2 0 7
=204×207+1
= 4 2 2 2 9
a = 1 + n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ( n + 3 ) where − 1 + k = 1 ∑ n + 1 2 k = a therefore − 1 + k = 1 ∑ 2 0 5 2 k = 4 2 2 2 9 I got this solution by considering these equations as a form of a geometric series with a geometric progression of 2. I'm not sure 100% about this solution, please provide me feedback.
we can clearly see that a n = 1 + n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ( n + 3 ) = ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) − 1
so, we have 1 + 2 0 4 × 2 0 5 × 2 0 6 × 2 0 7 = 2 0 5 × 2 0 6 − 1 = 4 2 2 2 9

Let us define a n = 1 + n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ( n + 3 ) .
= a 4 + 6 a 3 + 1 1 a 2 + 6 a + 1
= ( a 2 + 3 a + 1 ) 2 ⟹ a n = n 2 + 3 n + 1
a 2 0 4 = ( 2 0 4 ) 2 + 3 ( 2 0 4 ) + 1 = 4 2 2 2 9
