Is it realy probality?

From the first 25 positive integers, 17 are randomly chosen. What is the probability that we can find two integers whose product is a perfect square?


The answer is 1.00.

Write the positive integers in a x 2 y x^2y formula, where x x is a positive integer, and y y is a square free positive integer. (Square free means that except 1 it doesn't have a divisor, which is a square number.) Looking at the first 25 25 positive integer, the possible values of y y are:

1 , 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 10 , 11 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 17 , 19 , 21 , 22 , 23 1,2,3,5,6,7,10,11,13,14,15,17,19,21,22,23

This is 16 16 numbers. So if we choose 17 17 numbers, then there will be two numbers, which y y 's are equal, so the product of them will be a square number.

So the answer is 1 \boxed{1} .
