If the integer n has exactly three positive divisors, including 1 and n, How many positive divisor does n^2 have?
If the integer n has exactly three positive divisors, including 1 and n, then n is a square of another integer m, or n=m*m. In this way, n, or m^2, has three positive divisors: 1, m, and m^2.
Then n^2, which is m^4, will have 1, m, m^2, m^3, and m^4, 5 divisors or factors.
