Solution

The given series is a product series where each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term with an increasing natural number.

Let's break it down:

  • 2 * 2 = 4
  • 4 * 3 = 12
  • 12 * 5 = 60
  • 60 * 7 = 420

We can see a pattern here. The multiplier is not increasing by 1 each time, but by the next odd number. So, the next multiplier should be 9 (the next odd number after 7).

So, the next number in the series would be:

  • 420 * 9 = 3780

Therefore, the next number in the series is 3780.
