The hexagonal numbers

Rule

Each term is: The number multiplied by six

Known as: The hexagonal numbers

The first 50 terms (starting from n=0) are:

0 6 12 18 24 30 36 42 48 54 60 66 72 78 84 90 96 102 108 114 120 126 132 138 144 150 156 162 168 174 180 186 192 198 204 210 216 222 228 234 240 246 252 258 264 270 276 282 288 294
