1, 2, 4, P, 48, 240, Q.

1x2 = 2
2x2 = 4
4x3 = 12 (P)
12x4=48
48x5=240
240x6=1440 (Q)

i think so, although don't quite understand the 1 and 2 ....

I guess since the "1" is cancelled out, it is a typo, and the above answer stands.

i might be missing something here, but i don't see how the above equations form a pattern.. and i will go think about the answer.

P = 12
Q = 1440

1
2
4 = 2x2
12 = 4x3
48 = 12x4
240 = 48x5
1440 = 240x6
