# Find the next number in the sequence

What is the next number in this series?

1, 2, 6, 42, 1806?

SherlockHolmes Expert Asked on 4th May 2016 in

Add 1 to the number and multiply the number by it to get the next number

1 * (1+1) = 2
2 * (2+1) = 6
6 * (6+1) = 42
42 * (42+1) = 1806
1806 * (1806+1) = 3263442

Next number will be 3263442
