The nth term is a ( n ) = ( n 1 ) ( n ) ( n + 1 ) a(n) = (n - 1)(n)(n + 1) , making

a ( 7 ) = 6 7 8 = 336 a(7) = 6*7*8 = 336 .

This expression can be simplified to a ( n ) = n 3 n a(n) = n^{3} - n , equivalent to Sathish's observation.

1^3-1=0, 2^3-2=6, 3^3-3=24..........7^3-7=336 !!

I'm just playing with those numbers fortunately I got the right answer!

*Divide all numbers by six *

0 / 6 = 0 , 6 / 6 = 1 , 24 / 6 = 4 , 60 / 6 = 10 , 120 / 6 = 20 , 210 / 6 = 35 , z / 6 = y 0/6=0,6/6=1,24/6=4,60/6=10,120/6=20,210/6=35,z/6=y

subtract the answers by descending order

1 0 = 1 , 4 1 = 3 , 10 4 = 6 , 20 10 = 10 , 35 20 = 15 , y 35 = x 1-0=1,4-1=3,10-4=6,20-10=10,35-20=15,y-35=x

subtract again the answers by descending order

3 1 = 2 , 6 3 = 3 , 10 6 = 4 , 15 10 = 5 , x 15 = 6 3-1=2,6-3=3,10-6=4,15-10=5,x-15=6

Find the value of x so that the answers must be consecutive.

x = 21 x=21

y = 56 y=56

z = 336 z =336
