Find the only integer between 1500, and 2500 which is ans integral multiple of both 2 to the power of five and 2 to the power of 5 subtract 1.

2^5 = 32

2^5 - 1 = 31

However, 32 x 31 = 992, which is not between 1500 and 2500. Multiplying again by either term gives you a product of over 31,000.

I hate to admit it, but I cannot answer your question. Is there any typo in your message that might validate my answer?

Sorry that I cannot help more. Thanks for asking.

How about 64*31. Your question does not say 2^5 or 32 is the highest power of 2, only that 32 divides the number.
