\begin{enumerate}[label=\emph{\alph*)}, wide]
\item $\frac{4}{15}$, if written as a product of prime factors, is equal to $\frac{2^2}{3^1*5^1}$.
Since this fraction is not a natural number, we have to use the second part of the definition of $f$.
So, $f(q) = 2^{2*2} * 3^{2 * 1 - 1} * 5^{2 * 1 - 1} = 240$.
For the inverse of $f$, it is still necessary to compute the factorization in prime numbers.
Using the powers of the primes we can deduce whether the prime present is, if applicable,
part of either the numerator or the denominator.
$180 = 2^2 * 3^2 * 5^1$. Because of the way $f$ is defined, we know that all the prime factors with an even
power are part of the numerator and all prime factors with an odd power are part of the denominator (except 1,
which just maps to itself). When we backtrack using this information, we then get the following fraction:
$\frac{2^1 * 3^1}{5^1} = \frac{6}{5}$.
\item In order to prove that $f$ is a bijection, we have to prove that $f$ is injective and surjective.
