There are two options. 1) What horrible whole members; 2) Consecutive integer members. Longclaps answered the question "what horrible members" (without a solution) , I will answer the second one.
589952 = a 0 ( 2n − 1).
And now we divide our number into factors: 589952 \u003d 2 7 ∙ 11 ∙ 419.
Twos can only go to the first term a 0 . And with 419 and 11 - neither each of them, nor their product is similar to 2 n − 1.
So the only answer is a single term equal to 589952.
Are you sure you rewrote the number 589952?
If the terms are consecutive, but not integers, there may be ∞ answers - for example, 10 terms, the first of which is 589952 /1023 .
