Suppose positive integers p,q,r are such that pq = 32 and q = kČ/2 Then p(kČ/2) = 32 pkČ = 64 p = 64/kČ There are 4 square numbers kČ which are factors of 64. They are 1, 4, 16, and 64. Since q must be half a square number, we can eliminate odd number 1. So q can only be 2, 8, or 32 Therefore there are three solutions: 1. 2 is a factor of 32 and also 2 is half of 4 which is a square number, 22. 2. 8 is a factor of 32 and also 8 is half of 16 which is a square number, 42. 3. 32 is a factor of 32 and also 32 is half of 64 which is a square number, 82.
