Problem Statement

Let r1r\geq1 be areal number that holds with the property that for each pair of positive integer numbers mm and nn, with nn a multiple of mm, it is true that nr\lfloor{nr}\rfloor is multiple of mr\lfloor{mr}\rfloor. Show that rr has to be an integer number.
Note: If xx is a real number, x\lfloor{x}\rfloor is the greatest integer lower than or equal to xx}.
