If a discrete random variable $X$ is defined as follows:
$P(X=x) = \begin{cases} \frac{k(x+1)}{5^x}, & x=0, 1, 2, \ldots \\ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$
then $k=$

The random variable $X$ has the following probability distribution:
| $X$ | $8$ | $12$ | $16$ | $20$ | $24$ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $P(X)$ | $K$ | $\frac{1}{6}$ | $\frac{3}{8}$ | $2K$ | $\frac{1}{12}$ |
Then the value of $K$ is:
