Homogeneous Numbers

Two numbers are homogeneous if they have identical Prime Factors. An example of a homogeneous pair is (6, 36), both of which share Prime Factors 2 and 3:

$\displaystyle 6$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle 2\cdot 3$  
$\displaystyle 36$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle 2^2\cdot 3^2.$
