Smallest odd prime number = 3
Smallest odd composite number = 9
H.C.F. of (3, 9) = 3
L.C.M. of (3, 9) = 9
As odd number p divides q².
⇒ p is a factor of q² or q²/p gives 0 as a remainder.
Now, 
q² × q = q³, and p is a factor of q², hence it will also be a factor of q² × q.
⇒ p is a factor of q³
Therefore, p will divide q³ also.
In general, we can say that if p divides q² then it will also divide qⁿ, where n is a natural number (n ≥ 2).
