Explanation

The pattern multiplies each number by an increasing integer: 3×2=6, 6×3=18, 18×4=72, so 72×5=360. Each step multiplies by 2, 3, 4, then 5.

AI explanation

The multipliers between consecutive terms increase by 1 each time: 3*2=6, 6*3=18, 18*4=72, so the next multiplier is 5, giving 72*5=360.
