Hi Bunuel,

how is stmnt 1 sufficient?

question stem : If m is a positive integer greater than 1, can m be expressed as the product of two integers, each of which is greater than 1?

stmnt 1: m is the square of an integer

if we take m as 4 which is a positive integer >1 , 4 can be expressed as :

-2 * -2 = 4 (or)
2 * 2 = 4

hence M cannot be expressed as product of two integers , each of which is greater than 1

In your own example you are expressing 4 as the product of 2 and 2, so as the product of two integers each of which is greater than 1 (notice that we are not told that the factors must be distinct).

Hope it's clear.
