number theory - Non-negative rational integer composed of primes may be written as the sum of two squares

Show that any non-negative rational integer of the form
enter image description here



-- where the p1,p2,...,pm are all primes congruent to 1 mod 4, the q1,q2,...,qn are all primes congruent to 3 mod 4 and i,k1,k2,...,km,j1,j2,...,jn are all non-negative integers --
may be written as the sum of two squares.



My Work So Far:




  • I showed that if x and y may both be written as the sum of the squares of two integers then their product may also be written as the sum of two integers squared


  • I showed that if p is an integer prime congruent to 1 mod 4 then p is not a prime in Q[1]

  • I showed that if p is an integer prime congruent to 1 mod 4 then there are rational integers a and b for which p=a2+b2



I'm just not sure how to combine these results. Any help would be welcome, thank you!
