Calculation:

37 - 13 = 24

109 - 37 = 72

325 - 109 = 216

The differences between consecutive terms are 24, 72, and 216.

Notice that each difference is a multiple of 24:

72 = 24 × 3

216 = 24 × 9

The next difference should be 24 × 27 = 648 (since 3² = 9 and 3³ = 27).

Now, add this difference to the last number in the series:

325 + 648 = 973

∴ The missing term in the series is 973.
