i think its 20102 then 8080206.
what i did was that, if 4 was the starting number, u would multiply it by the previous number, and add 2.
1 times 4 is 4. plus 2 is 6
6 times 1 is six. plus 2 is 8.
8 times 6 is 48. plus 2 is 50.
50 times 8 is 400. plus 2 is 402
402 times 50 is 20100. plus 2 is 20102.
20102 times 402 is 8080204. plus 2 is 8080206

20,102, 8,080,2002
Each new number in the sequence is the product of the two previous terms +2.

The formula for the nth item is to multiply the two previous items and add two.
So the next are 20102 and 8,081,006
