I have it reduced to proving that $\displaystyle F_m\,|\,F_{qm}$ for all $\displaystyle m$. I have the rest of the proof.
So I tried proving it with induction.
It's trivial for $\displaystyle m=1$, so I assumed $\displaystyle F_m\,|\,F_{qm}$. Then I tried to prove that $\displaystyle F_{m+1}\,|\,F_{qm+q}$.
Using an identity I know and have proved,
$\displaystyle F_{qm+q}=F_qF_{qm+1}+F_{q-1}F_{qm}=F_qF_{qm+1}+kF_{q-1}F_m$
for some $\displaystyle k\in\mathbb{N}$, but now I'm stuck.
Any hints?
