Formula to describe this sequence

I have a pattern of sequences that I want to define.

The first sequence is 2. In the next sequence you double that to get 4, put 6, and then put 4 again. In the third sequence you double the previous sequence to get 8,12,8, write 6, then write 8,12,8. This pattern continues, doubling the last sequence, writing 6, then rewriting the the first set of numbers, so we would have
24,6,48,12,8,6,8,12,816,24,16,12,16,24,16,6,16,24,16,12,16,24,16



Is there a closed formula to represent the kth number in the nth row?



I also would like to know this answer when we start with 6 as the first number so we have
612,6,1224,12,24,6,24,12,2448,24,48,12,48,24,48,6,48,24,48,12,48,24,48



NOTE: I slightly edited my main question seconds before String answered, so his answer doesn't exactly reflect my question. I'm still looking for a better solution.
