Explanation

The series follows the pattern n^3 - n: 2^3-2=6, 3^3-3=24, 4^3-4=60, 5^3-5=120, 6^3-6=210.

AI explanation

The given series follows the pattern of the product of three consecutive natural numbers. The terms can be written as (1 × 2 × 3) = 6, (2 × 3 × 4) = 24, (3 × 4 × 5) = 60, and (4 × 5 × 6) = 120. Following this same pattern, the next term in the series is (5 × 6 × 7), which equals 210.
