Explanation

The pattern is multiplication by increasing integers: 2*2=4, 4*3=12, 12*4=48, 48*5=240.

AI explanation

The series follows the pattern where each number is multiplied by increasing consecutive integers: 2, 3, 4, and 5. Multiplying 2 by 2 gives 4, multiplying 4 by 3 gives 12, and multiplying 12 by 4 gives 48. Multiplying 48 by 5 confirms the next term as 240. The result is 48.
