Let $a_{n}$ be a geometric sequence of complex numbers with $a_{0}=1024$ and $a_{10}=1$ , and let $S$ denote the infinite sum $S = a_{10}+a_{11}+a_{12}+...$ . If the sum of all possible distinct values of $S$ is $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, compute the sum of the positive prime factors of $n$ .

This problem needs a solution. If you have a solution for it, please help us out by adding it.
