Explanation

The pattern is adding consecutive even numbers starting from 72: 1480+72=1552, 1552+110=1662 (72+38), 1662+156=1818 (110+46), 1818+210=2028 (156+54). The differences themselves increase by 38, 46, 54 - each increasing by 8. Next difference is 54+8=62, so 2028+272=2300. Alternatively, differences are 72, 110(=72+38), 156(=110+46), 210(=156+54) - the increments 38, 46, 54 increase by 8.
