    2^m = 2^n + 56

    m = 6, n = 3

    2^m - 2^n = 56 = 2^3*7

    2^(m-3) - 2^(n-3) = 7

    so n-3 = 0 otherwise the difference would be even => n= 2:

    2^(m-3) - 1 = 7

    2^(m-3) = 8

    m-3 = 3, m = 6:

    n=3

    m=6

    2^m - 2^n = 56

    64 - 8 = 56

    m=6, n=3

    The problem is not well stated.
