A x B = AB - ( A + B ) = Y.
8 x 2 = 16 - 10 = 6,
6* 3 = 18 - 9 = 9,
9 * 4 = 36 - 13 = 23,
23* 5 = 115 - 28 = 87,
87*6 = 522 - 93 = 429.
8 x 2 = 16 - 10 = 6,
6* 3 = 18 - 9 = 9,
9 * 4 = 36 - 13 = 23,
23* 5 = 115 - 28 = 87,
87*6 = 522 - 93 = 429.

@ALL.
As per my knowledge, this will go like.
a will start from 1 and increase to 1 in next , b start from 2 and increase 1.
8 x a - b = 6,
6 x (a++) - (b++),
9 x (a++) - (b++),
23 x (a++) - (b++),
87 x (a++) - (b++).
