Problem Statement

Find all functions f:NNf : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N} such that the following conditions are true for every pair of positive integers (x,y)(x, y): (i)(i): xx and f(x)f(x) have the same number of positive divisors. (ii)(ii): If xyx \nmid y and yxy \nmid x, then: gcd(f(x),f(y))>f(gcd(x,y))\gcd(f(x), f(y)) > f(\gcd(x, y))
