(Perhaps you meant the 2-adic valuation, in which case that line is correct but the conclusion does not follow.)

Question emerges when ni=1 for certain consecutive iteration.I might have a proof for that.

If I want to know the power of 2 on the right hand side , it must satisfy the left hand side. If I partition the left side in two part, in one part it is converted in power of 2,for other one, 2-base logarithm has been used.
