Question 169

In a kindergarten, a nurse took $n \gt 1$ congruent cardboard rectangles and gave them to $n$ kids, one per each. Each kid has cut its rectangle into congruent squares (the squares of different kids could be of different sizes). It turned out that the total number of the obtained squares is a prime number. Prove that all initial rectangles were in fact squares. (S. Berlov)
