Let $a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots .$. be a sequence of positive integers in arithmetic progression with common difference $2$. Also, let $b_1, b_2, b_3, \ldots .$. be a sequence of positive integers in geometric progression with common ratio $2$ . If $a_1=b_1=c$, then the number of all possible values of $c$, for which the equality

$2\left(a_1+a_2+\ldots .+a_n\right)=b_1+b_2+\ldots . .+b_n$

holds for some positive integer $n$, is. . . . . . .
