Workings

Hint
The answer involves multiplication (for example, 9 x 8 = 72).

Answer
468.

Reasoning
If we split each line in the following way:

98 68 88
72 48 64
14 32 24

Each new line is generated by multiplying the digits two at a time and writing the result below.

For example, 9 x 8 = 72, so 72 appears directly below 98.

And 7 x 2 = 14, so 14 appears directly below 72.

Double-Checking
9 x 8 = 72, 7 x 2 = 14, 1 x 4 = 4.

6 x 8 = 48, 4 x 8 = 32, 3 x 2 = 6.

8 x 8 = 64, 6 x 4 = 24, 2 x 4 = 8.
