It looks like multiply by 2 and add 12.
12(2)+ 12 = 36
36(2) + 12 = 84

Each number is times 2 plus twelve. For example 12 * 2 = 24 and 24 + 12 = 36 and so on.

12, 36, 84, 180, 372, 756
The difference between each step, multiply by 2 and add to the previous number to get the next number in the series.

Well, let's divide all of them by 12.
Then we get 1,3,7,15,31. ...
To get the next one in the series, multiply by 2 and add 1
to get 63. For your original series, the next one is
63*12 = 756.
