To determine the next number in the sequence, we need to identify the pattern governing the given numbers. Let's examine the relationship between each consecutive number:
To get from 12 to 24, we multiply by 2 (12 * 2 = 24).
To get from 24 to 72, we multiply by 3 (24 * 3 = 72).
To get from 72 to 288, we multiply by 4 (72 * 4 = 288).
Looking at this pattern, we can infer that each number in the sequence is obtained by multiplying the previous number by the next consecutive positive integer.
To find the next number, we'll need to multiply the last number, 288, by the next consecutive positive integer, 5:
288 * 5 = 1440
Therefore, the next number in the sequence is 1440.
