1. ## about factorization of Prime numbers ... !

Hi there. I am trying to solve this problem and until now I am unable. Can someone help me in finding the solution of this problem.

-------------------------
Let n be a (unique) prime factorization of $p_{1}^m_{1}p_{2}^m_{2}\dots p_{q}^m_{q}$. Show that $\sqrt n$ can be written as a fraction if and only if $m_{i} (1 \leq i \leq q)$.

So far, a few hints have been discussed at http://www.mymathforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=22048
FYI...
