elementary number theory - If a prime pmidb and a2=b3, then p3mida



I have an exercise that I don't know how to solve. I tried to solve it in many ways,
but I didn't get any progress in proving or disproving this...

The exercise is:




Prove or disprove: if p is a prime number, if a and b are native numbers and
a2=b3

and if pb, then
p3a.




If someone has a proof to this exercise I would really appreciate it.




Thanks!


Answer



Let the highest powers of p in a,b be A(0),B(1) respectively,



So, we have 2A=3B2A3=B3|2A3|AA3
