Let 2650384 = m 2 n 2 2650384 = m^2 n^2 , where m 2 m^2 and n 2 n^2 are the perfect squares we are looking for. Since 2650384 = 2 4 × 1 1 2 × 3 7 2 2650384 = 2^4 \times 11^2 \times 37^2 , m n = 2 2 × 11 × 37 = 1628 \implies mn = 2^2 \times 11 \times 37 = 1628 . We need only to consider the divisors of 1628 1628 . Since 1628 1628 has ( 2 + 1 ) ( 1 + 1 ) ( 1 + 1 ) = 12 (2+1)(1+1)(1+1) = 12 divisors, there is only 6 6 pairs of ( m , n ) (m,n) and 6 6 pairs of ( m 2 , n 2 ) (m^2, n^2) , which are as follows:

m n m 2 n 2 1 1628 1 2650384 2 814 4 662596 4 407 16 165649 11 148 121 21904 22 74 484 5476 37 44 1369 1936 \begin{array} {|r|r|r|r|} m & n \ \ & m^2 \ & n^2 \quad \\ \hline 1 & 1628 & 1 & 2650384 \\ 2 & 814 & 4 & 662596 \\ 4 & 407 & 16 & 165649 \\ 11 & 148 & 121 & 21904 \\ 22 & 74 & 484 & 5476 \\ 37 & 44 & \blue{1369} & \blue{1936} \end{array}

Therefore the answer is 1369 \boxed{1369} .

@Brendon Teong , it is called a perfect square (see the link for explanation) and not square number. Any product of two or more perfect squares must always be a perfect square without surprise. I have amended your problem question.
