Answer:

12240

85680

685440

Explanation:

We know that the sequence is growing rapidly

To see how rapidly divide the second term by the first term

102/34 =3

Check the third term divided by the second term

408/102 =4

Check the fourth term divided by the third term

2040/408=5

To get the second term, multiply by 3, to get the third term multiply by 4

to get the fourth term multiply by 5

to get the nth term multiply by (n+1)

The 5th term would be multiplied by 6

2040 *6 =12240

The 6th term by 7

12240*7=85680

The 7th term by 8

85680*8=685440
