\textit{I'm kinda stuck at this point.
|

I see that this is definitely injective, since the way the exponents
|
||||
are defined, you will always know which prime factors belong to the numerator or to the denominator.
|
||||
But I fail to prove this using the direct definition of $f$ like we could do for the natural numbers.
|
||||
This is because the products of the denominators in the last equation are not unique.
|
||||
So maybe I simplified them too much and shouldn't try and write them in terms of $x_1$ and $x_2$ like
|
||||
we did earlier, and try and focus more on just the exponents, but I feel it becomes really hard
|
||||
to show that $x_1 = x_2$ that way.

to show that $x_1 = x_2$ that way.}
|

|
||||
\item[Surjectivity:] We want to show that $f$ is onto, i.e. $f(\{ q > 0 : q \in \Q \}) = \N$.
