Multiply the equation by ( 2 2 0 − 1 ) . (Take note that 2 2 0 − 1 = 1 so it won't change the value of equation)
The equation now becomes
( 2 2 0 − 1 ) ( 2 2 0 + 1 ) ( 2 2 1 + 1 ) ( 2 2 2 + 1 ) . . . ( 2 2 2 0 1 5 + 1 )
Take note that
( 2 a − 1 ) ( 2 a + 1 ) = 2 2 a − 1
2 2 k × 2 = 2 2 k + 1
Using these two identities,
( 2 2 0 − 1 ) ( 2 2 0 + 1 ) ( 2 2 1 + 1 ) ( 2 2 2 + 1 ) . . . ( 2 2 2 0 1 5 + 1 )
= ( 2 2 1 − 1 ) ( 2 2 1 + 1 ) ( 2 2 2 + 1 ) . . . ( 2 2 2 0 1 5 + 1 )
= ( 2 2 2 − 1 ) ( 2 2 2 + 1 ) . . . ( 2 2 2 0 1 5 + 1 )

= ( 2 2 2 0 1 5 − 1 ) ( 2 2 2 0 1 5 + 1 )
= 2 2 2 0 1 6 − 1
A = 2 2 0 1 6
l o g 2 A = 2 0 1 6
