I generated this number sequence by following a pattern. Can you determine that pattern?

1
120
10800
345600
3024000
15780000
220752000

Some rounding was used to get these numbers, so you may be slightly off when you calculate them yourself. If you find the pattern, you've found the answer.

Clue 1:

Each number is X*Y, and both X and Y increase following their own pattern.

Clue 2:

It's only a matter of time before someone finds the answer.

These numbers are

1,2,3,4,5,6,7

times

number of seconds in a second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year

where

a month is taken to be about 30.4 days and a year 365 days, and the figure for a month rounded a bit (it isn't e.g. exactly 1/12 of the figure for a year).
